A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care (infection control). The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.
