HFN 598 - Research and Quality Improvement


This course first explores the differences between quality assurance and research activities. Students are then engaged in the process of conducting a robust quality assurance program as well as in a discussion of differences in a potential research project on the same topic. During this time students will work on a group quality assurance project on a clinical topic. This will include identification of the problem, project design, baseline data collection, data analysis and development of conclusions. Each student will prepare a capstone summary PowerPoint presentation and deliver to a group of students and faculty.
