Organizational Assessment

Purpose

The purpose of this discussion is to assess for organizational gaps or problems, allowing us to explore the process you would follow to assess the organization.

Reflect upon your readings and consider a practice problem or the practice problem you have identified for your DNP project and respond to the following:

1. Describe the process you would follow to assess the organization where you plan to conduct your project for opportunities for improvement including the identification of stakeholders.
2. Determine the ultimate goals for your DNP project and how they relate to the organization’s mission and vision.
3.  This week you are working on a plan for assessing your organization.  As you think through that process, are you able to see how your project might affect patient safety in the focus area?
