Measures
Why do we measure?
Measures facilitate learning and are not for
judgment or comparison
Recognize
 areas for improvement
Define the gap between where we are and where we
need to be
Provide 
feedback
 as a means to 
evaluate
Are the changes we’re making having the desired
impact?
Characterize 
the robustness of change
How does our system respond to the changes we’ve
made?
Measurement Assumptions
The purpose of measurement is for
learning, 
 not judgment.
All measures have 
limitations
, but the
limitations do not negate all value.
Measures are one 
voice
 of the system.
Hearing the voice of the system gives us
information on how to act with and within
the system.
Measures tell a 
story
; goals give a
reference point
.
 
 
Outcome Measures
:
 
Voice of the customer or
patient.  How is the system performing? What is the
result?
Process Measures
:
  
Voice of the workings of the
system.  Are the parts/steps in the system performing as
planned?
Balancing Measures
:
 
Looking at a system from
different directions/dimensions. What happened to the
system as we improved the outcome and process
measures (e.g. unanticipated consequences, other factors
influencing outcome)?
Three Types of Measures
EASE Measures
EASE process measures include:
> 90% of patients 1 year of age and younger will
leave the hospital with information on safe sleep
practices
Each hospital will show that > 80% of children ≤
1 year of age will be in “safe sleep” position (own
crib, nothing in crib and on back) on random
weekly audits by the end of the 12-month project
This is a bundled measure of all three items for a safe
sleep position

Cycle
PLAN – DO – STUDY – ACT
CYCLES
 
 
The PDSA Cycle
Four Steps: Plan, Do, Study, Act
Also known as:
Shewhart Cycle
Deming Cycle
Learning and
Improvement Cycle
The Improvement Guide
Associates in Process Improvement
Use PDSA Cycles for:
Testing
 or adapting a change idea
May answer a question related to the aim
Implementing a change
Spreading the changes to the rest of
the system
Why Test?
Force us to think small
Increases your belief that the change will
result in improvement
Opportunity for learning without impacting
performance
Help teams adapt good ideas to their
specific situation
The Improvement Guide
Associates in Process Improvement
Do initial cycles on smallest scale possible
Think baby steps…a “cycle of one” usually best
“Failures” are good learning opportunities; can
be better than “Successes”
As move to implementation, test under as
many conditions as possible
Think about factors that could lead to breakdowns,
supports needed, “naysayers”
Different providers; different days of the week;
different patient  populations, etc.
Key Points for PDSA Cycles
 Key Points for PDSA Cycles
Do initial cycles on smallest scale and
within shortest timeframe possible
-
Think baby steps…a “cycle of one” usually
best
Years
Quarters
Months
Weeks
Days
Hours

Drop down “two
levels” to plan Test
Cycle!
Common PDSA Pitfalls
1.
Testing changes where link to overall aim or
key driver is unclear
2.
Failing to make a prediction before testing
the change
3.
Failing to execute the whole cycle
Plan, Plan, Plan-D-S-A (too much planning, not
enough doing)
P-Do, Do, Do-S-A (too much doing, not enough
studying)
Common PDSA Pitfalls
4.
Not learning from “failures”
5.
Lack of detailed execution plan
6.
Failure to think ahead a few cycles

  29. PDSA WORKSHEET Do Plan Team Name: Best Pizza Delivery Team Overall team/project aim: Deliver pizzas within 30 minutes What is the objective of the test? Reduce the number of late deliveries due to drivers getting lost Date of test: January 2nd Test Completion Date: January 5th Act Study PLAN: Briefly describe the test: Provide maps for the delivery drivers to ensure they know the delivery location, and can make it on time How will you know that the change is an improvement? Drivers will deliver pizzas on time without getting lost What driver does the change impact? Getting to delivery location efficiently What do you predict will happen? The maps will help get drivers to their destination efficiently PLAN DO: Test the changes. Was the cycle carried out as planned? X Yes No Record data and observations. 100% of deliveries were made without drivers getting lost What did you observe that was not part of our plan? Day drivers ran into more traffic than expected. STUDY: Did the results match your predictions? XYes No Compare the result of your test to your previous performance: Less drivers were lost because of the maps. What did you learn? Maps are useful for delivery drivers ACT: Decide to Adopt, Adapt, or Abandon. Adapt: Improve the change and continue testing plan. Plans/changes for next test: Provide maps for all shifts, not just day drivers Adopt: Select changes to implement on a larger scale and develop an implementation plan and plan for sustainability Abandon: Discard this change idea and try a different one Person responsible (who) Order Taker List the tasks necessary to complete this test (what) 1. Customer calls in order; person answering phone confirms address 2. Address is given to Manager Joe 3. Map is created for delivery address 4. Map is given to delivery driver 5. Delivery driver follows map to address 6. Delivery driver reports back on getting lost/not getting lost, and time it takes for pizza to be delivered Plan for collection of data: Delivery drivers will keep a log of time they leave the store to the time they arrive at the delivery address; this information will be sent to Manager Joe.
