Problem-solving is a structured approach to addressing CHART /FLIP
challenges and finding solutions. Here's a general approach you CARD /FLASH
can follow: CARD /HAND
OUT
Identify the Problem: Clearly define what the problem is.
Sometimes, the actual problem might be different from what it
initially appears to be, so it's important to take time to
understand the root cause.
Gather Information: Collect relevant data and information
related to the problem. This might involve research,
observation, interviews, or data analysis.
Generate Potential Solutions: Brainstorm different ideas or
solutions that could potentially address the problem. Encourage
creativity and think outside the box. Don't dismiss any ideas
initially; you can evaluate them later.
Evaluate Solutions: Assess the potential effectiveness of each
solution. Consider factors such as feasibility, cost, time
required, and impact. Narrow down the list of solutions to those
that are most promising.
Choose the Best Solution: Select the solution that seems most
likely to solve the problem effectively. Consider any potential
risks or drawbacks associated with the chosen solution.
Implement the Solution: Develop a plan for implementing the
chosen solution. This might involve allocating resources,
assigning responsibilities, and setting timelines. Make sure
everyone involved understands their roles and responsibilities.
 Monitor and Evaluate: Once the solution is implemented,
monitor its progress and effectiveness. Be prepared to make
adjustments if necessary. Evaluation helps to determine
whether the solution is achieving the desired outcomes.
Learn from the Process: Reflect on the problem-solving
process. Consider what worked well and what could be
improved for future problem-solving efforts. Learning from
experience helps to continuously improve your problem-solving
skills.

one. Problem-solving often requires critical thinking, creativity, OUT
resourcefulness, and persistence to overcome obstacles and find
viable solutions. It is a fundamental skill used in various
aspects of life, including personal, professional, academic, and
social contexts.

its potential impact. /FLASH
Developing Solutions: Problem-solving aims to generate CARD
potential solutions or strategies to address the identified /HAND
problem. These solutions should be practical, feasible, and OUT
effective in resolving the issue.
Selecting Optimal Solutions: One of the main objectives is to
evaluate and compare different solutions to determine the most
appropriate one. This involves considering various factors such
as effectiveness, efficiency, cost, and feasibility.
Implementing Solutions: Problem-solving aims to develop
and execute plans for implementing the chosen solution
effectively. This involves allocating resources, setting
timelines, and assigning responsibilities to ensure successful
implementation.
Evaluating Outcomes: After implementing a solution, the
objective is to assess its effectiveness and impact. This involves
monitoring progress, collecting feedback, and analyzing
outcomes to determine whether the problem has been
adequately addressed.
Continuous Improvement: Problem-solving aims to foster a
culture of continuous improvement by learning from past
experiences and refining problem-solving approaches. This
involves identifying areas for improvement, adapting strategies,
 and incorporating lessons learned into future problem-solving
efforts.
Promoting Collaboration: Problem-solving often involves
collaboration and teamwork to leverage diverse perspectives,
expertise, and resources. The objective is to facilitate
communication, cooperation, and collective problem-solving
efforts to achieve shared goals.

Gather Information: Collect relevant data, facts, and /FLIP approach
information related to the problem. This may involve research, CARD
observation, interviews, surveys, or data analysis to gain a /FLASH
deeper understanding of the issue. CARD
Generate Possible Solutions: Brainstorm and explore different /HAND
options or approaches to solve the problem. Encourage OUT
creativity and consider a wide range of potential solutions, even
unconventional ones.
Evaluate Solutions: Assess the potential effectiveness,
feasibility, and consequences of each solution. Consider factors
such as cost, time, resources, risks, and impact on stakeholders.
Narrow down the list of solutions to those that are most viable.
Select the Best Solution: Choose the solution that is most
likely to address the problem effectively based on the
evaluation. Consider trade-offs and make decisions based on
available information and priorities.
Develop an Action Plan: Outline a clear plan for
implementing the chosen solution. Define specific steps, tasks,
responsibilities, and timelines for implementation. Ensure that
everyone involved understands their roles and expectations.
Implement the Solution: Execute the action plan and put the
chosen solution into practice. Allocate resources, monitor
progress, and address any obstacles or challenges that arise
during implementation.
Monitor and Evaluate: Continuously monitor the
implementation of the solution and evaluate its effectiveness.
Measure progress against predefined objectives and criteria.
Gather feedback from stakeholders and make adjustments as
needed.
Reflect and Learn: Reflect on the problem-solving process
and outcomes. Identify lessons learned, successes, and areas for
improvement. Use this feedback to refine problem-solving
approaches and enhance future decision-making.
Iterate if Necessary: If the chosen solution does not fully
resolve the problem or new issues arise, be prepared to revisit
previous steps and iterate the problem-solving process. Adapt
strategies, explore alternative solutions, and continue working
towards a resolution.

practice and medical research to formulate clinical questions. It CHART
stands for: /FLIP
CARD
Population/Problem: This refers to the specific group of /FLASH
individuals or the problem being addressed in the question. It CARD
could include demographic characteristics (age, gender, etc.) or /HAND
clinical conditions. OUT
Intervention: This component outlines the intervention,
treatment, exposure, or action being considered to address the
problem or improve outcomes for the population.
Comparison: In some cases, there may be alternatives or
different approaches to the intervention being considered. This
component specifies what alternative or comparison group is
being used for comparison purposes.
Outcome: This component defines the outcomes or results that
are of interest in evaluating the effectiveness of the
intervention. These outcomes should be measurable and
relevant to the population and problem being addressed.

By structuring clinical questions using the PICO framework,

researchers and healthcare professionals can systematically
identify key components to guide their search for evidence and
inform decision-making. Here's an example:
Population/Problem: In elderly patients with hypertension
Intervention: Does regular exercise
CONCLUSION

In conclusion, problem-solving is a vital skill that allows individuals and teams to address challenges, overcome obstacles, and achieve
desired outcomes. By following a structured problem-solving process, which includes identifying the problem, gathering information,
generating solutions, evaluating options, implementing the best solution, and monitoring progress, individuals can navigate complex
situations effectively. Effective problem-solving involves critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and perseverance. It requires
individuals to approach problems with an open mind, consider various perspectives, and adapt strategies as needed. Additionally,
continuous learning and reflection are essential for improving problem-solving skills over time.
