Post a description of some of the proposed action steps for implementing improved practice and explain where potential challenges might compromise your proposed improvement project. Describe what resources are needed for your solution and explain whether those resources are cost-effective or not. Continue to collaborate with the selected individuals in your practice environment as needed in the development of the Practice Experience Project and share this information with your group.

Read and respond to two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question. Provide feedback on potential challenges you see might compromise the improvement project and what other resources might be more cost effective. As a member of a community of practice, help each other refine and clarify the patient-centered Practice Experience Project.
