• Flowchart comparing current process versus what evidence says should be done with narrative identifying missed opportunities (indicators).
Cause Analysis
• Root Cause Analysis with Fishbone Diagram. Identify where the problems exist. Describe causes for the problem and how each is linked to the problem.
Action Plan for Each Indicator
• Changes that should be done in order to improve practice, according to what evidence shows. Include:
o Indicator (look at your indicator sheet): Provide the evidence to support in one sentence.
o Measurement: Numerator and denominator. How will you measure that the change is being done?
o Goal: What is your goal data? Benchmarks?
o Implementation: Include best practices for implementing your change with evidence to support your implementation strategy
o Create a table with the following information for each indicator:
