A Rough Guide
![Page 2: Quality Improvement Projects for FRCEM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/625c26b1992c871911327a3e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why do it?
Better patient experience and outcomes through changing
provider behaviour and organisation through the use of a systemic
change method and strategy
![Page 3: Quality Improvement Projects for FRCEM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/625c26b1992c871911327a3e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What to improve through change?
Start with a problem
Do not start with a solution
Not a big problem
Lots of changes are made by knee-jerk reaction to a single datix incident
You need to care about it and “own” it
Audit looks at why we are failing as quality assurance

Examples
Improve pain relief at paediatric triage
Reduce the time elderly people are immobilised
Improve handover between AMU and ED
But first define the problem

How to do it
“Every system is exactly designed to deliver the results it gets”
Redesigning the system
Start with an aim
Be specific in time and population
Who are the stakeholders and providers? Have they agreed?

How to do it-practical points
Write it with the mark scheme next to you
Acceptable or unacceptable
Can only get 1 unacceptable
Keep a project diary and note reflections as you go along
Evidence
Not a CTR
Phone a friend/ look on line
Use a change tool
Visual stuff like GANTT and driver diagrams

how might have done
things differently

Measures
Intended and unintended outcomes
System outcomes, KPIs
Customer outcome
Understand variation. Did the change cause the variation or was it “fluke”
Use small audits along the way to see if making a change
