Considering the Problem

THE FIRST AND MOST important step in a clinical project, quality improvement initiative or research study is the identification of the problem, a problem requiring a solution. By clearly defining a problem, the researcher creates a direction for the research study. Later, the purpose of the study will also align with the problem, as the researcher attempts to solve the problem with research. Finally, the problem directs the methodology of the study so that a possible resolution to the problem can be tested.
