Work Stream: Improvement Science
Level: All
Room Capacity: 475



So, you can explain what the letters PDSA mean. Great! 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? This workshop will provide a refresher for those who are stalled and a jump start for those who are new to the quality improvement journey. This session is built around the Model for Improvement (MFI) and will demonstrate how to link the three questions related to aim, measurement, and change concepts to the sequence for success.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Provide an overview of the Model for Improvement
  • Specify the differences between testing, implementing, and spreading
  • Identify key concepts and tools that should be part of a QI toolkit
