Rapid Cycle Testing AIM:State your overall goal you would like to reachExample: By March 31, 2009 we will have reduced undocumented and unintentional discrepancies by 75% or greater of baseline on Medical Unit #1.
Completing Test of Change • Do: Describe what actually happened when you ran the test • The protocol failed to account for poor historians so more collateral information was required. • Study: Describe the measured results and how they compared to the predictions • Guideline and form need revisions based on RNs feedback, there were 2 undocumented intentional and 2 unintentional discrepancies. The team leader suggested improvements for the BPMH form • Act: Describe what modifications to the plan will be made for next time. • The guideline and form will be modified, and another test planned with the next resident admitted on September 15

Rapid Cycle Change • Initiation of Rapid Cycle tests is dependent on getting the first test of change started • Do Not try to Perfect the change then implement…consider your work a masterpiece in progress • Failure is a great Opportunity to plan to do better next time… • Frequency of Testing determines the speed of the process improvement ie daily testing = improvement in weeks; weekly = improvement in 3-4 months
Exercise • Select a change idea • Complete the Plan • Conduct the test in your work setting • Complete the Do, Study, Act sections • Post your PDSA worksheet to the Community of Practice
