Summarize the new knowledge gained from this cycle: (insert flowcharts, cause/effect diagrams, etc) What did you learn that can be applied to another area? Click here to enter text. Act What changes are to be made to the process? List other organizations/people that will be affected by the changes: What was accomplished in this cycle? (see checklist below) The cause of the system is sufficiently understood. An appropriate action or change has been developed or selected. The changes have been tested on a small scale. Change responsibilities for implementation and evaluation have been completed. Actions or changes will improve performance in the future. Completed an analysis of forces in the organization that will help/hinder the changes. Objective of next cycle: Collect data Develop a change (or modify from previous) Test a change Implement a change Description: Click here to enter text.

Step 6: Tools for Quality Improvement The QI process if driven by data – whether it’s determining the most useful metrics to measure or ultimately trying to show that an intervention has facilitated change, the data will tell the story. Several tools are at your disposal to help you gather, organize, interpret and present data in a meaningful way: Tools for understanding a process or a problem (Recall from Step 1) Process Flow diagram (Process Map) Cause-and-Effect diagram (Ishikawa or Fishbone diagram)
