The document discusses aim statements for improvement projects. It explains that an aim statement defines the scope and goal of an improvement effort by answering three questions: what are we trying to accomplish, what changes can we make to achieve improvement, and how will we know a change resulted in improvement. A good aim statement is measurable, specific, numerical, sets a timeframe, and identifies the target population or system. Examples of aim statements that meet these criteria are provided. The document concludes by having the reader write their own aim statement.
