I need help with Analysis, and completing my homework workbook. I have just completed my PDSA 4
PDSA Report Submission Checklist:
Remember to return to Module 2 for full instructions each time you complete your PDSA report!
Tools and Measures Worksheet |
|
Update tab in the workbook |
|
Include links to all current tools |
|
Highlight any changes to tools and/or measures this cycle |
|
PLAN |
|
Tests of change (column C) are ~5 words, written |
|
The |
|
Learning Questions (column D) are scholarly and curious. Short-term, focused on the upcoming 2-week cycle. |
|
Predictions (column E) consider both positive and negative outcomes. Include the word “because” to investigate the “why” behind each prediction. What are your barriers and facilitators? |
|
DO |
|
See the checklist in the Do section (column F) of each PDSA tab. |
|
Field notes for each core intervention (template found below the PDSA flowsheet) – record and date in real-time (no less than twice per week, more frequently is preferred). Incorporate team observations in field notes. Must have a minimum of 4 field notes per cycle per intervention. |
|
Update all run charts. All process and outcome measures need a minimum of 4 data points (each) per cycle – more frequent data collection is preferred. Aim and balancing must be collected at least once per cycle, with many projects requiring more frequent collection of these metrics. |
|
Update aggregate data in Google forms and exported spreadsheets. Data for each core intervention is averaged to create a minimum of 2-3 data points per week (4-6 per cycle). Data is also summarized with a total cycle mean at the end of 2 weeks. |
|
Ensure |
|
Update all summary data tables bringing cycle means from aggregate tables over to summary tables. Summary tables are formatted correctly and support the data presented. |
|
STUDY |
|
Analysis of Learning from Predictions: Compare your prediction (Column E) to what really happened. |
|
Analysis of Learning from Field Notes and Team: What patterns are emerging? What are you learning from your observations? What is your team telling you (both verbally and with their actions)? |
|
Analysis of Learning from Run Charts: What do you see in your run charts? How are the process and outcomes related? (or not?) Be sure to discuss both process |
|
Analysis of Learning from Aggregate and Summary Data: How effective was your test of change for this cycle? Why? Does this summary of the data show you a different perspective than your run charts? What are your highest and lowest performing metrics? This section should include DATA (numbers). |
|
Summary of Analysis: Consider the big picture. What learning will inform your change for the next cycle? Be sure this is a clear connection between the Summary and Bridge and your plan for improvement for the next cycle. |
|
ACT |
|
Develop a strong, scholarly, innovative, and unique new test of change for each core intervention. |
|
Include a |
|
Update the Core Interventions Table (tab in workbook). Be succinct – use 5 words or less for each test of change. |
|
THE NEXT PLAN |
|
Flip to the next tab and complete columns C, D, and E as noted above with your new tests of change in RED. See above plan section for further details. |
