So, you can explain what the letters PDSA mean. Great! (That’s an acronym for Plan-Do-Study-Act, if you didn’t know.) But, are you able to successfully run multiple PDSA tests in one day, know when a change concept is ready for implementation, and then sustain the improvements?
Built around the Model for Improvement (MFI), the IHI Quick Course: Back to Basics: Building Essential QI Skills will demonstrate how to link the three questions related to aim, measurement, and change concepts to the sequence for success. This course will provide a refresher for those who are stalled in their improvement efforts, and a jump start for those who are new to the quality improvement journey.
