My PICOT is as follows:
P (patient, population, or problem): younger (30-40s) patients in overall good health with new problem
I (Intervention): implement best practices in nursing operations of purposeful rounding and bedside reporting.
C (comparison with other treatment or current practice): Current practice
O (desired outcome): reduction in the left without being seen (LWBS) rate by 2%
T (time frame): 90 days
My PICOT question is: For younger (30-40s) patients in overall good physical health presenting to the emergency room with a new problem, does implementing bedside reporting and purposeful rounding improve the left without being seen rate?
