  1. Model for Improvement Ruth S. Gubernick, MPH Practicing Safety Learning Session May 30, 2009

  2. Objectives of this Session • Participants will be able to: • Identify Model for Improvement • Create an Aim statement for project with concrete goals • Constitute Plan Do Study Act cycles to test improvements, using the PS Toolkit

  3. The First Law of Improvement “Every system is perfectly designed to achieve exactly the results it gets.”

  4. Fundamental Questions for Improvement • What are we trying to accomplish? • How will we know that a change is an improvement? • What changes can we make that will result in an improvement?

  5. Act Plan Study Do Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? AIM How will we know that a change is an improvement? MEASURES What change can we make that IDEAS will result in improvement?

  6. Compare the 3 questions to how we frame improvement Aim Measurement for learning PDSA What are we trying to accomplish? How will we know a change is an improvement? What changes can we make to bring about improvement?

  7. Act Plan Study Do Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? AIM How will we know that a change is an improvement? MEASURE What change can we make that IDEAS will result in improvement?

  8. What Are We Trying to Accomplish? Aim: A written statement of the accomplishments expected from this improvement effort Key components: - A general description of aim – should answer, “what are we trying to accomplish?” - Some guidance for carrying out the work and rationale - Specific target population and time period - Measurable goals

  9. Example (Poor) • Our practice teams will improve care for all infants and toddlers, by using the Practicing Safety Toolkit.

  10. Sample Aim By November 30, 2009, our practice teams willtest the 3 Practicing Safety bundles (toolkit) to determine feasibility, as well as make improvements to the bundle set, so that: • 100% of parents/caregivers receive assessment/screening regarding coping with crying at or by the 2-month well visit. • 100% of parents/caregivers receive anticipatory guidance regarding coping with crying at or by the 2 month well visit. • 100% of new mothers receive assessment/screening regarding maternal depression at or by the 2 month well visit. • 100% of new mothers receive anticipatory guidance regarding maternal depression at or by the 2 month well visit. • 100% parents/caregivers receive assessment/screening regarding discipline at or by the 18 month well visit • 100% of parents/caregivers receive anticipatory guidance regarding discipline at or by the18 month well visit. • 100% of parents/caregivers receive assessment/screening regarding toilet training at or by the 18 month well visit. • 100% of parents/caregivers receive anticipatory guidance regarding toilet training at or by the 18 month well visit.

  11. SMAART Aim • Specific: Understandable, unambiguous • Measurable: Numeric goals • Actionable: Who, what, where, when • Achievable (but a stretch) • Relevant to stakeholders and organization • Timely: with a specific timeframe

  12. AIM Worksheet • The (name of your team ) intend to accomplish • By (date) • For (population) • because • Our goals include: • Special guidance that will help us stay on track:

  13. Act Plan Study Do Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? AIM How will we know that a change is an improvement? MEASURE What change can we make that IDEAS will result in improvement?

  14. How will we know a change is an improvement? • Requires measurement • Build measurement into daily work routine • Data should be easy to obtain and timely • Small samples over time • Use qualitative & quantitative data • Qualitative data is highly informative • Qualitative data is easy to obtain

  15. Measurement Guidelines • Balanced set of 5 to 7 measures reported each month to assure that the system is improved • Measures should reflect the aim and make it specific • Measures are used to guide improvement and test changes • Integrate measurement into daily routine • Plot data measures over time and annotate graph with changes • Outcome and process measures

  16. Measures for Practicing Safety • Target population • Infants and Toddlers seen by PS clinicians in participating practice for well care visit • Numerator • # infants or toddlers with documentation that parent/caregiver received anticipatory guidance, assessment/screening, referrals/follow up regarding crying, maternal depression, bonding/attachment (at or by 2 months); discipline and toilet training (at or by 18 months). • Denominator • All infants and toddlers seen in participating practice for well care visit whose charts are reviewed.

  17. Act Plan Study Do Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? AIM How will we know that a change is an improvement? MEASURE What change can we make that IDEAS will result in improvement?

  18. What Changes Can We Make That Will Result in Improvement? Tests of Change need 2 components: 1. Change concepts (ideas): ready for use or ready to adapt to your unique environment (**Use results from pre-work assessment to inform what you need to change) 2. PDSA test method

  19. The PDSA Cycle for Learning and Improvement Act Plan • Objective • Questions and • predictions (why) • Plan to carry out the cycle • (who, what, where, when) • Plan for data collection • What changes • are to be made? • Next cycle? 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

  20. PDSA: Break it Down/Simplify… Plan - Figure out the questions you want to answer, plan a way to answer the questions, and predict results Do - “Just do it” (i.e. do the plan) Study - What did you learn? Did your prediction hold? What assumptions need revision? Act - What will you do with the knowledge you learned? Adapt? Adopt? Abandon? What do you want to do next?

  21. Use of the PDSA Cycles Multiple cycles A P S D D S P A A P S D A P S D Changes that Result in Improvement Data Implementation of Change Wide-Scale Tests of Change Evidence Best Practice Testable Ideas Follow-up Tests Very Small Scale Test

  22. What are Tests? Putting a change into effect on a temporary basis and on a small scale and learning about the potential impact

  23. Why Test? • Increase your belief that the change will result in improvement • Opportunity for learning from “failures” without impacting performance • Document how much improvement can be expected from the change • Learn how to adapt the change to conditions in the local environment • Evaluate costs and side-effects of the change • Minimize resistance upon implementation

  24. Decrease the Time Frame for a PDSA Test Cycle • Years • Quarters • Months • Weeks • Days • Hours • Minutes Drop down next “two levels” to plan Test Cycle!

  25. What Can We Do Now! By Next Week, By Tuesday, By Tomorrow That won’t harm a hair on the head of a patient?

  29. Form for planning a PDSA cycle • supports prediction • and keeping one step ahead
