Assignment Task: Fishbone Diagram Root Cause Analysis Projects
Part A:
Referring to the systematic review on the validity and rigor of applying PDSA methodology in healthcare improvement projects (Taylor et al., 2014), Answer the following questions:
What is the main literature gap behind the methodology of PDSA in the context of articles published in journals aiming to improve healthcare systems according to the review paper? What deficiencies have been unraveled with respect to the use of PDSA?
Describe the four stages of PDSA in terms of their content, milestones, and how each stage contributes to the overall improvement project.
Part B
Propose a PDCA improvement project to address a healthcare problem of your choice. Ensure to describe in detail the problem you wish to address and analyze its possible causes using the Fishbone Diagram tool and Pareto chart. Identify the vital few causes (2) and propose a suitable solution.
Explain how you will implement the solution. Indicate how you will know (which measurement?) that an improvement will take place when you implement the project. Describe the data collection plan.
