PICOT statement paper
Details:
Review the Topic Materials and the work completed in NRS-433V to formulate a PICOT statement for your capstone project. ( Please see attachment)
A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.
Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format provided in the assigned readings. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:
- Evidence-Based Solution
- Nursing Intervention
- Patient Care
- Health Care Agency

Hospital Length of Stay
The hospital environment should be efficient enough in providing the appropriate environment for patient recovery from different health issues to all patients. However, Toh, Lim, Yap, & Tang (2017) conducted a research in different hospital environments, determining that the median age for patients with a prolonged length of stay at the health facilities was 85 years. The study puts the geriatric patients as the population most likely to the experienced length of stay within the facilities, prompting a change in the practices of caregivers, towards an improvement in the attendance to the geriatric population within such environments.
