QI Assignment 2

Complete a PDSA Cycle and a Control Chart

Overview

In this assignment you will:

Part 1. Create a PDSA cycle, ideally based on the QI Assignment #1 Value Stream Map analysis.

Part 2. Create a control chart related to the PDSA.

Part 3. Complete the “S” (Study) and “A” sections of the PDSA based on how the data points in the control chart changed (or did not) after your improvement activity compared to your predictions, and to describe what modifications to the plan will be made for the next PDSA cycle.

Instructions

In this assignment you will complete a PDSA worksheet for testing change in an improvement activity. Ideally, you will develop a PDSA based on the Value Stream Map you completed in QI Assignment 1. One of the steps of the PDSA is to define what measures will be used to determine if your improvement activity is successful. You should select a relevant process measure (e.g., warm handoff, waiting time) and if applicable an outcome measure (e.g., PHQ-9 score, HbA1c) based on your QI Assignment 1 Value Stream Map analysis. Apply the PDSA to develop an intervention that you will apply to improve the process and outcome measure.

Use the “PDSA Worksheet for Testing Change” developed by the IHI and attached to complete the assignment. You can download that IHI Word doc and type in your answers directly.
