PDSA for Implementation Workflow
| . | Study Results . | Planned Process Change . |
|---|---|---|
| Preimplementation | N/A | Screen 1 caregiver per day per process map |
| Week 1 | Effective introduction of screener to families by CTA and completion of screener by caregivers | Increase duration before tablet times out |
| The tablet timed out too quickly. | Orient an additional CTA with availability in the morning when more caregivers are present | |
| Many caregivers were not at the bedside. | Change data collection forms to aggregate counts of caregivers not screened | |
| Initial data collection plan detailing each time a caregiver cannot be screened is time consuming. | ||
| Week 2 | Additional CTA was able to screen parents in the morning when more are present on the unit, decreasing the No. caregivers not screened for this reason from 6 to 2. | Obtain an additional tablet |
| Screening is limited to 2 families at a time because of the No. tablets available. | ||
| Week 3 | Additional CTA fully integrated into the project with ability to screen caregivers in the morning has been effective. | Refine data collection tools |
| Additional tablet is now available. | Scale up to screening at least 80% of eligible caregivers | |
| Weeks 4–6 | Gradually scaled the number of screenings per week. | Screen at least 80% of eligible caregivers |
