Specific

Time bound

SMART Deliverables

SPECIFIC: What (precisely) do you plan to accomplish? What will be the end product of your work?

Common problems we see:

Lack of clarity

EX: “Engage diverse stakeholders”

EX: “Nurses educated to importance of leadership”

Action steps listed as deliverables

EX: “Survey will be distributed”

SMART Deliverables

Measurable: What is the objective indicator of success? How can you assure that your goal has been met?

Common problems we see:

No baseline or baseline cannot be replicated

EX: “25% increase in BSN-prepared nurses”

Deliverable with no objective measure

EX: “Attendees educated for outreach”

No evaluation of diversity measures

EX: “Program advertised to a diverse group”

SMART Deliverables

Goal: “Improve community awareness of the IOM Future of Nursing report.”

• Action step: Develop and provide training to nurse leaders on messaging the goals of the report.

Original deliverable: “Leaders trained for outreach”

Better: “>25 participants completed workshop for messaging value of IOM report.”

Best: “At least 25 graduates of messaging workshops will complete presentations to community groups on the relationship between health and the goals of the IOM Future of Nursing report.

Measuring success

How will you demonstrate success?(you do not need to include this on your work plan, just

be mindful)

What is the evidence?

SMART Deliverables

Achievable: Can your group meet this goal in the given time frame with existing resources?

Common problems we see:

Deliverable as written not attainable

EX: “Educators will agree on ADN-BSN model”

Deliverable not under control of grantee

EX: “New legislation will be passed”

Don’t be overly fearful of setting a high bar!

Be bold!

SMART Deliverables

Relevant: Remember what we are working toward! What is the ultimate impact of your work?

SMART Deliverables

Timely: What is the timeline for completion? Built in to your grant! Deliverables are evaluated at 18 and 24 months from the start date of your grant.

SUMMARY

• Review each deliverable in conjunction with the SMART criteria
