• Variation is not limited to utilization
• All dimensions of quality have the potential for variability – clinical outcomes, efficiency, etc.
• Also applies at the level of individuals

Intended and Unintended Variation
• Intended variation is an important part of effective, patient-centered health care.
• Unintended variation is due to changes introduced into healthcare process that are not purposeful, planned or guided.
• Walter Shewhart focused his work on this unintended variation. He found that reducing unintended variation in a process usually resulted in improved outcomes and lower costs. (Berwick 1991)

a) Describe an example of intended variation in your project.
b) Describe an example of unintended variation in your project.

Understanding Variation: the good and bad
• Unintended:– Poor research – Professional uncertainty– Poor knowledge – professional ignorance
• Intended:– Clinical differences among patients– Personal differences among patients
![Page 12: Understanding Intended and Unintended Variation Andrew Wray – June 17, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0e5503460f94c22a7c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Most work of improvement is focused on unintended variation
If all variation was unintended, it would be easy to stop. What is difficult is reducing unintended variation while keeping intended variation
Unintended Variation

Re-discovery?
• Tonsillectomy – 10 fold variability
• Risk of death with surgical treatment – 8 fold variability
