Setting Clear Goals: Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Data Collection: Collect data using reliable and valid instruments. This can include patient surveys, clinical assessments, and health records. Analysis: Analyze the data to determine whether the goals have been met. Use statistical methods to compare baseline and post-intervention data. Interpretation: Interpret the results in the context of the patient's overall health status and the care provided. Feedback: Provide feedback to the healthcare team and use the findings to inform future practice.
