This may sound all too simple, obvious and straight-forward. However, the right project can be easily misconceived with the best intentions. Choose projects where you, as the project leader, can have strong influence and make effective change. The project should focus on a process or a condition that is relatively important (by prevalence and/or impact) for the particular service area. The project goal(s) should also be realistic and have a strong potential for improvement. Whenever possible, choose a project whose goals also align with those of the institution as well as other local, regional, and national healthcare agencies. This will provide you with more support for instituting your changes throughout the institution.
