How did you
implement the proposed change? What was the timetable for change?
If you are describing a QI project: This means you trialled some changes to test your ideas over a period of time. PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycles are small scale tests of change to see if they lead to an improvement. Describe one of your PDSA cycles. How did you plan it? What did you learn? How many PDSA cycles did you do? If you are describing an audit: This means you identified clear standards and then measured performance against those standards. Did you determine if the standard has been achieved? Did you identify gaps between the published standard and levels currently delivered? What actions did you take to close the gaps? |
