NURS 9717 Methods of Advanced Scholarly Inquiry

This is the second of four courses to prepare DNP students to conduct an organization approved, scholarly inquiry project to improve health services and patient outcomes. Students critically evaluate the literature and related information to address a health care problem. Scholarly inquiry approaches are presented to enable students to identify a problem, plan change to improve a process or outcome, or develop innovative solutions related to health care delivery. Upon course completion, there will be a faculty and organization approved DNP project charter, which includes the problem, processes, and expected outcomes.
