Measurable Outcomes

Measurable Outcomes

My project focus topic is the nursing shortage. It is estimated that ten million more nurses are needed to solve the nursing shortage problem in the United States of America (Zhang et al., 2018). Two interventions have been proposed to address the issue. The first intervention is to increase the number and capacity of nursing training facilities. The second intervention is to provide fellowships to graduates and retain them in institutions to solve the problem of the shortage of preceptors.

The first measurable outcome of the intervention is the establishment of two or more nursing training institutions in each state. This outcome indicates that the intervention has come to fruition. An increase in nursing training institutions will accommodate more applicants and increase the number of trained nurses. The second measurable outcome will be an increase in the capacity of existing nursing training institutions by at least ten classrooms per institution. This outcome is a fulfillment of the second objective of the intervention. An increased ability of the existing nursing training facilities will increase the number of enrollments in the institutions. Increased enrolments will increase the number of trained nurses and help to solve the problem.

The third measurable outcome is an increased annual enrolment of qualified applicants. This will eliminate the incidences of rejections that have been reported (Buerhaus et al., 2017). Enrolment of all qualified applicants will increase the number of trained nurses. The registration of these nurses and their recruitment to the workforce will help solve the nursing shortage problem. In addition to the three outcomes, other indicators of the successful implementation of the intervention will be increased job satisfaction levels, decreased reports of burnout, reduced stress levels, and optimized ratios of nurses to patients.
