1/3. An observation: having meandered into the world of #QualityImprovement [reading-wise] I’m puzzle by the start point of the many #QI tools, “define the problem”. What does that actually mean? Surely not simply state the problem (as you’d simply be instructed to do that).
2/3. So how do we define? What methods of analysis are being used, and how are we synthesising that final definition? Moreover, what type of definition: intensional, genus and difference, by species, operational, quantitative, contextual, synonymous, extensional, ostensive (etc)?
3/3. In add, does the process the go on to specify the form, or function, and any characteristics and features of the problem? What about necessary conditions or the context? What if it’s confines or limitations? … or am I just being too precise? #Nursing #QualityImprovement
