The Model for Improvement

The Model for Improvement is a simple framework used to enhance processes or outcomes. It involves three key questions: What are we trying to improve? How will we know if improvement occurs? What changes can we make that will lead to better results? After answering these, it emphasizes testing changes on a small scale through Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles, allowing continuous learning and adjustment. This approach helps teams focus efforts, make data-driven decisions, and achieve measurable improvements efficiently and safely.
