Introduction to PDSA cycles
![Page 2: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Objectives
After this session participants will:• Understand how to do a gap analysis• Understand the main steps in
implementing a change to improve quality
• Understand the concepts of PDSA
![Page 3: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
You’ve done the measurement.
What should you do with all that data?
![Page 4: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Your data shows: Only 70% of eligible patients are routinely screened for TB.
How can you improve this?
![Page 5: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How do we improve a problem?Some general principles
• Need to ensure there is an atmosphere of improvement
• The discussion is not accusatory or seeking to blame
• The problem is in the process not the individual– Clinic procedures, information, materials/supplies,
equipment
![Page 6: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

QI methods
• Many approaches, some overlaps, but all with the same goal: Improve a gap
• Some basic questions that the team must ask– Why does the gap exist?– How can we close the gap?– Did we succeed?
![Page 7: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction to PDSAA process that helps us to organize how we
will improve a gap
• Plan• Do• Study• Act

Remember the link between measurement and QI
Measure quality
Work to address the gap: QI
Identify a gap
Understand why gap exists

So how do you plan what your change (QI project) will be?
![Page 13: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step 1: Planning to improve a quality gap
1. Understand where in the system things are not working:1. Make a Flow chart2. Brainstorm - Where do we think problems are?3. Cause and Effect (Fishbone)
2. Develop the solution3. Make a plan to fix the gap4. Decide how the plan will be implemented
(discussed in next talk)
![Page 14: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Make a flow chart• A map of what should happen• Work with the QI team and others as needed• Draw out each of the detailed steps required
to have the desired outcome– An eligible patient is started on ART
• Start with patient registering to clinic, end with patient started on ART.
– Patient receives Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis• Start with patient comes into clinic and end with
patient leaving clinic with CTX pills

Brainstorming• Refer to the flow chart as a guide• List all potential causes of the quality gap• Work as a team and continue until you have
exhausted all ideas• Categorize into potential groups
– Human resources– Patient factors– System/protocols– Guidelines– Infrastructure– Resources– Other factors
![Page 17: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Flow chart 2: List all the possible gaps

• Developed by Ishikawa• Helps to categorize the potential causes of the
gap – Ex. those developed by brainstorming
• Guides where you might try to improve

Step 1 Plan - Some tips• Work as a team. Every voice counts.• Start with a flow chart, then brainstorm
possible gaps in each step of the process.– The “change” or first QI project may be found
after this step.• Categorizing into systems will help to further
organize and guide where the change can be focused.
• Ask representative from leadership to join and develop the detailed plan
![Page 22: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Step 1: Example of a plan to improve TB screening from 70% to 90% of patients
• After discussion of the possible causes, the clinic decides the biggest problem is that nurses and doctors forget to ask about symptoms and a reminder is needed.
• Solution: Place signs on the desk and use a stamp that had been provided, but not regularly used.
![Page 23: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Step 2: Do
The PDSA Cycle
Do• Carry out the plan• Document
problems• Begin analysis
![Page 24: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Do: Principles• Is there something easy that another clinic has
already done?• Start small and simple
– What can we change by next week?
• Test it out – don’t be afraid to just try something small to see if it works
• Document what happens, both good and bad.– Do a mini chart review– Note any affects on resources or other systems

![Page 27: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Did the stamp improve TB screening?
13% 70%
TB screening stamp with symptom put on doctor’s desk
• Quick review of 10 charts: 9 screened for TB• Minimal work for nurses
![Page 28: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Step 3: Study

Step 4: Act
The PDSA Cycle
ActDid the plan work?
Yes: How will you expand or sustain it?
No: What will you try next?
![Page 30: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Act: What Will We Do (Based on What We Learned)?
In our example:1) we will continue to use the stamp2) make sure that it has a secure place to stay3) add signs to remind staff and patients about
TB screening4) continue to monitor.
The PDSA Cycle
![Page 31: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Example: TB screening
13% 70% 90%
- Remind staff about TB screening in staff meeting- Make a paper reminder put on the desk in front of the doctor
TB screening stamp with symptom put on doctor’s desk
Goal: 90%
![Page 32: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Another example
• Clinic ABC found that many patients were missing clinic visits.
• After writing out a flow chart and brainstorming potential causes they decided the core cause was many patients had barriers to keeping appointments
![Page 33: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Plan: Tool to improve on time visits.
• Objective: screen HIV patients for issues that might affect their ability to come to clinic on time.
• Prediction: adding a screening tool will add time to the patient visit, but we can keep this to a minimum
• Steps: Nurse Thuy and Counselor Ngoc researched and identified possible tools that were reviewed by Ngoc and Dr. Phuong. They selected one tool for Dr. Phuong to use with at least three patients in the clinic on Thursday
• Necessary tasks: 1. Identify tool. 2. Copy tool and place in patients' charts. 3. Dr. Phuong reviews instructions for using tool. 4. Explain tool to patient. 5. Use tool
Adapted from the National Quality Center

Do: Implementing the adherence tool
• Dr. Phuong used the tool on one patient the next day

Study: What happened with the tool?
• The tool was 5 pages long• Added 35 minutes to the patient’s visit• The next patient waiting for the doctor was
late for work so had to leave his appointment
• We made things worse!

Act: What happened with the tool?
• The clinic team sat down again to come up with a new plan to screen patients for barriers.

Emphasis point
All improvements require change, however, all changes don’t lead to
improvement
![Page 38: Implementing Quality Improvement Introduction to PDSA cycles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e395503460f94b2b438/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Summary
• Goal of QI is to improve• Requires team approach• Many approaches exist – most use
incremental and continuous change• Start small• Measure before, during and after to make
sure there is improvement• Make sure the change is institutionalized so
the change is sustained.
