Purpose:
•Have current and ongoing knowledge of the system’s performance
•Understand the patterns and trends in baseline data
Outcome:
•Analysis of baseline data
•Identification of special causes of variation
Pgs 92-100
How big of a problem is it? What data do I have that shows the
current level of performance (baseline data) of the area I’m trying to improve?
What does the data tell us? New insights from the data?

Purpose:
• Identify & verify possible common causes of variation in the system being studied
• Generate improvement theory
Outcome:
• Improvement theory

Purpose:
• Test the Improvement Theory
Outcome:
• A test of the research-based theory
• New data collected after the theory has been tried
If we do this … (improvement theory based on root causes)
Then we… (expected results)
As measured by… (data gathering plan- results will be compared to baseline data collected in “Define the System”)
• How will I test the theory?• What will I do differently?• What actions will be carried out?
• Based on the root causes, what can I do differently to produce more positive results?
• How will I test the theory?• What will I do differently?• What actions will be carried out?
• Based on the root causes, what can I do differently to produce more positive results?
• Force Field Analysis (To anticipate road blocks or barriers of the proposed change)
• Action Plan (Road Map to carrying out plan)
• Run Chart, Scatter, Bar Chart (to collect data)

• Action Plan (Road Map to carrying out plan)
• Run Chart, Scatter, Bar Chart (to collect data)
Purpose:
• Check to see if the Improvement Theory worked
Outcome:
• A data-based decision to act on (standardize) or abandon the actions taken to improve the system.
• An explanation of why the results turned out the way they did (positive or negative)
• Did my improvement theory work?• Was the theory effective in raising
performance? • How does this new data compare
to the baseline data?• What data do I have that shows the
new level of performance?
• Did my improvement theory work?• Was the theory effective in raising
performance? • How does this new data compare
to the baseline data?• What data do I have that shows the
new level of performance?
• Tools to compare the data collected (after the improvement theory was implemented) to baseline data
• Charts to display the results• Implementation notes• If results were favorable, discuss
how to standardize
• Tools to compare the data collected (after the improvement theory was implemented) to baseline data
• Charts to display the results• Implementation notes• If results were favorable, discuss
how to standardize
• If the results were favorable in “Study the Results” it is time to standardize
• Create a new flow chart that represents the new way the system should operate
• Communicate changes in the system to all stakeholders
• If the results were favorable in “Study the Results” it is time to standardize
• Create a new flow chart that represents the new way the system should operate
• Communicate changes in the system to all stakeholders
• Display the PDSA story board that shows how the system was improved
• Ensure all stakeholders understand the new way the system is to operate
• Create a data gathering plan to ensure that the system continuous to work effectively
• Look for another aspect of the same system to improve (look back to the Pareto Diagram to select the next “culprit”
