Evaluate Complications & Deaths Discuss the importance of Complications & Deaths (e.g., accreditation status, patient safety, and/or financial status of the hospital). Define two to three SMART goals for your selected measure to improve. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART)   Be sure to include all five elements—specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound—in each goal.  For example: To implement an up-and-running emergency department tracking system by 12/31/2022. To hire and train additional five nurses to meet the staff-to-patient ratio during peak times by 12/31/2022.  To reduce the turnaround time at 10% for lactic acid/lactate levels laboratory testing by 12/31/2022. Analyze specific local, state, or national policies (e.g., The Joint Commission Standards) that have been developed to improve your selected measure based on evidence-based practice research.
