| Project Name | Decreasing Mortality rates due to Skin Cancer In West Virginia University Hospital Through Early Prevention Strategies |
| Gap Analysis | |
| Current State | Increase in mortality rates due to skin cancer (7%) |
| Desired State | Reducing the number of deaths due to skin cancer (less than 5%) |
| Identified Gap | The identified gap is 2% |
| Methods used to identify the Gap | Questionnaires, Assessments, Synopses, and Surveys; Campaigns to increase patient knowledge about skin cancer and lifestyle modifications; Learning sessions for the healthcare staff in the oncology department |
| Implications/Relevance to Identified Population | Improvements needed to be made through staff training and increasing awareness about prevention strategies; Life span will be increased. Deaths caused due to skin cancer will be decreased. |
| Evidence to Support the Need | Dietz et al. (2020); Cancer treatment aims to reduce cancer patients’ deaths and allow them to live everyday lives. The power of screening tests, early diagnosis, and treatment have the overall capacity to reduce skin cancer mortality rates (American Cancer Society, 2022a). |
| Problem Statement | The increased mortality rates in the West Virginia population due to skin cancer have become a major concern for healthcare providers. It can be resolved through different educational and secondary prevention strategies. |
| SMART Objectives | |
| Specific | The goal of the project is to reduce the skin cancer rate from 7% to 5% from the year 2023 to 2024 by implementing prevention and early detection strategies along with training healthcare workers. |
| Measurable | The number of deaths caused due to cancer will be observed monthly using EHR or surveys. |
| Achievable | This objective is realistic and can be accomplished by professionals collaborating with other healthcare staff. |
| Relevance | The suggested interventions are relevant to the issue of increased mortality rates. |
| Time-bound | The goal will be accomplished in one year. It will start in 2023 and end in 2024. |
| Project AIM | The purpose of the project is to encourage healthcare workers at West Virginia University Hospital to put in more effort to reduce mortality rates in patients. |
| Timeline | |
| Two months of Planning and Preparation | Identifying goals and objectives, evaluating the number of patients, discussing obstacles, and possessing funds. |
| Implementation | Forwarding the plan, promoting prevention strategies, increasing collaboration, arranging educational seminars, and assessing progress. |
| Six months for evaluation of the goal | Evaluating information, identifying gaps, and making necessary adjustments. |
