Utilizing evidence-based literature and quality standards, propose an initiative that addresses your problem selected in Milestone One. If you chose a problem in your workplace, be sure to utilize data from that healthcare organization; if you created a hypothetical healthcare organization, you may use a public domain database with instructor permission. You will also implement your performance improvement initiative and discuss what success of the performance improvement plan will look like after implementation.
