Assignment: Beginning with the challenge you addressed for yourself last week, refine the definition of the design problem using the five-whys methodology. Some definitions of the problem should be more specific and some more general than the one you addressed last week for yourself.

Please note that it is acceptable if your gap changes quite a bit from what you addressed last week. Indeed, it is even possible you will address some gap totally unrelated to what you did last week. While in an ideal world, your gap for this week would relate to what you did last week, it is easy to imagine situations where you might want to shift directions.

Articulate a hierarchy of problems, identifying with an asterisk (*) the statement you think would best serve as your course project. Please adopt the format „In what way might I ?“

For instance: In what way might I …
improve mortality outcomes in the hospital
reduce the incidence of hospital-acquired infection
prevent the spread of microbes among patients
*increase hand washing among healthcare providers
make access to soap and water convenient
locate hand washing stations near patients

Please include at least five different problem statements in your hierarchy.

*get feedback about teaching quality
