Plan
Who, When, How, Where will we intervene?
How will we know our change resulted in improvement?
Do
Test your change and document what you learned.
Study
What methods are you using to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention?
How will you know that the intervention is working- what trends will you look for in the data?
What might be some other ways you can measure the effectiveness and success of the intervention?
Act
If your change is unsuccessful, or less successful than desired, what are other potential interventions that could be tried?
What will you do to sustain the successful change you made?
Is there opportunity to spread the change to others (unit/team/patient population, process, etc.)?
How will you know if the change “stuck”? – When will you measure again? How often will you re-measure?
