This assignment is designed to help you develop your QI Project proposal by identifying content used in developing your project team, intervention, pilot testing, and unexpected issues slides. The attached worksheet will guide you in this process. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology is driven by 3 questions: (1) What are we trying to accomplish? (2) How will we know a change is an improvement? And (3) what change can we make that will result in improvement? The Plan stage begins with an analysis to identify what can be changed that will lead to improvement; it creates a blueprint for the change.
The Do stage is where the plan is carried out, data are collected, and observations made. During the Study stage, the data obtained from observations are analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the plan’s implementation. Finally, the Act stage is where adjustments are made based on the collected data in preparation for the next PDSA cycle. With this model, iterations of the PDSA cycle continue until the change goal is achieved.
