Global Objective
The purpose of a global objective is to provide a vision for your overall project. It should be broadly stated, it is what you will be developing and implementing in this course, what is your final product (example: if you are creating a tool to educate patients-then the global objective is the development and presentation of this education). Write 1 Global Objective (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations). An objective should consist of one sentence.

List 4 Project Objectives…objectives should start with an action verb! (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations) For example; Research on…Develop a tool/guide/protocol/policy/process to…Develop and present education to staff on new tool…Implement new tool on ___number of patients to improve…
Direct patient contact/engagement-implementation in clinical practice: Describe in one or two sentences how you will provide direct patient engagement (contact) in your clinical practice project and describe how this will impact patient outcomes.

Your direct patient engagement could be the use of a new tool/process/guide/protocol/procedure on patients. Be specific, how many patients will you implement this project and how do you predict this will impact patient outcomes?
