An AIM Statement or Problem Statement should answer the following questions:

• What are we trying to accomplish?
• How will we know a change is an improvement?
• What change can we make that will result in an improvement?

• Ready, AIM, Problem Solve - Narrow a problem statement to a discrete issue to promotes focus
• Make AIM Statements More Robust - Incorporate intangible benefits to improve the business case for quality improvement and view a detailed template
• Targeting Improvement with AIM Statements - Take a free course from the Empire State Public Health Training Center that provides training on the development of an effective AIM statement.
