Corner Stone: The Improvement Model Debbie Barnard, MSc, CPHQ January 30, 2013

What is this session all about? • Know the theory • State the three fundamental questions that are the basis of the Model for Improvement: • Identify the processes that make up the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle; • Understand how to apply the theory and • Describe how an improvement team can use the model to make changes in a real-world setting • Being able to share that knowledge in a way that empowers the learner to make the knowledge their own
Foundation forBreakthrough Improvement • Will to do what it takes to change to a new system • “own the problem” and leadership support to improvement. • Ideason which to base the design of the new system • don’t recreate the wheel, rather learn from the success of others • Executionof the ideas • use proven quality methods to test and measure.

How will you know that change results in improvement ? • Do you have a balanced set of measures (process outcome and balancing measures) in place that will enable you track progress towards your goal? Source: NHS Scotland – Science of Improvement Learning Sessions (The Improvement Guide by API)

What Changes Can We Make That Will Result in Improvement? • What have others done? • What hunches do we have? • What can we learn as we go along? • Principles: • Everything goes • Think outside the box • Borrow from other disciplines or organizations • Use established change packages Source: NHS Scotland – Science of Improvement Learning Sessions (The Improvement Guide by API)

The PDSA Cycle for Learning and Improvement Act Plan What changes are to be made? Next cycle? Objective, questions and predictions (why) Plan to carry out the cycle (who, what, where, when) Study Do • Complete the • analysis of the data • Compare data to • predictions • Summarize what • was learned Carry out the plan Document problems and unexpected observations Begin analysis of the data Source: NHS Scotland – Science of Improvement Learning Sessions (The Improvement Guide by API)

What do you say when, you are asked – testing why???? • To learn whether the change will result in an improvement • To predict the amount of improvement possible • To learn how to adapt the change to different environments • To understand the costs and impact of change • To reduce resistance
