Quality Improvement Proposal
Introduction
Evidence-based practice (also referred to as EBP) is considered as the regulatory force which
drives several initiatives of quality improvement in an organization or the standardization of
practices. Several factors have been recognized which motivates the use of EBP to improve the
quality of health care provided for increasing the positive outcomes with the help of constant
utilization of the knowledge-based research. The research-based evidence provides a base that
helps in propelling my nursing project. The problem selected in the present paper is for exploring
the relationship which occurs when the PDMP (also referred to as Prescription Drug Monitoring
Programs) is used by the prescribers for a time duration as well as for determining the total
reduction in the number of opiate prescriptions after use and if the program is also being referred
to other disciplines of pain management. The rationale to select this issue is at par due to the
crisis of opiate experienced by several countries as well as the way regular and adequate training
including the tools to manage people who seek pain control could be provided assistance and
care. The study initially explains about the evidence-based practice while identifying the issue
and the requirement of quality improvement proposal in the area as well as its expected
outcomes.
