Topics should address safety, quality, efficiency in delivering care, cost, or equity of care. A list of possible topics is provided below. Be sure you choose one that has evidence to support it. The evidence must support the prevalence or need as well as the efficacy of your recommended innovation to address the problem. Submit a summary of your refined topic for approval. The summary should be at least 100 words or 7 bullet points. This step will require research to narrow the focus of the topic.
