Everyone, Look down through these lists for an intervention that might be improved in your workplace. The University of Iowa has done an extensive classification of nursing interventions. This is what we do! 

Initially launched by the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1998 and now a Press Ganey solution, the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators® (NDNQI®) is the only—as well as the oldest and largest—comprehensive nurse-sensitive indicators platform that collects and analyzes nursing data, so nursing units can assess their impact on clinical quality and patient outcomes.

Browsing through this may give you ideas for an area of interest -- or benchmark data.

Important Reminder: You will not be doing original research. Rather, you will be doing a quality improval project. These projects will not require approval of any institutional review board (IRB) either at EMU or your workplace. Nonetheless, you need to know about the function of IRBs. IRB is an older term that has been updated to "Human Subjects Protection"
