How will you know that the intervention is working- what trends will you look for in the data?

Act


If your change is unsuccessful, or less successful than desired, what are other potential interventions that could be tried?

What will you do to sustain the successful change you made?

Is there opportunity to spread the change to others (unit/team/patient population, process, etc.)?

How will you know if the change “stuck”? – When will you measure again? How often will you re-measure?
