PDSA

Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) - every improvement is an experiment.

What is PDSA?
  • PDSA is a very good way to think about improvement and is a key tool in any improvement work.
  • PDSA provides a framework for developing, testing and implementing change that may lead to improvement.
  • PDSA can be used to test out any planned improvement or change in the way we work on a small scale, in small steps.

Multiple and simultaneous PDSA cycles may be used when the planned change is complex or if further improvements are required.

Only implement the idea when you're confident you have considered and tested all the possible ways of achieving the change.
