This video highlights an important pre-planning step in the Plan-Do-Study-Acty (PDSA) process and offers key considerations for selecting a target area for improvement and change ideas to test.
This is the first video in a five-part series focused on deepening improvers’ knowledge of and skills in conducting PDSA cycles to test and refine change ideas designed to improve specific outcomes.
This video discusses how to move from a theory of improvement (represented by a driver diagram) to identifying a focus area for PDSA testing. It unpacks several key considerations that can help improvers reflect on their system and determine a high-leverage place to start testing change ideas that fuel rapid learning. The presenter also walks through a case-based example of how to focus in on a secondary driver and identify related strategies that can be further scoped into specific, testable change ideas.
