Projects

Before starting any project, answer these three questions:

  1. Objective: Define what you’re trying to achieve. Make objectives specific and quantifiable, like improving a PROM score by 10 points, rather than generic, unquantifiable goals, such as “achieve better patient wellbeing”.
  2. Measurement: Determine how you’ll measure improvement. Use our precise, pre-defined metrics to track progress. Quantitative data is more reliable than qualitative impressions.
  3.  Changes for Improvement: Identify what changes you will need to make to achieve your desired objective.

SMART Criteria: Use SMART objectives – Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Relevant, and Time-bounded.

  • Specific: Identify a clear area for improvement with precise objectives.
  • Measurable: Set objectives that can be quantitatively measured.
  • Assignable: Assign each objective to a person or team responsible for it.
  • Realistic: Set challenging yet achievable objectives, considering available tools and uncontrollable factors.
  • Time-bound: Define a clear timeline for achieving each objective.
All projects have a similar life-cycle:
1

Plan

Clearly define your goals and success criteria. Predict outcomes and plan data collection methods.
2

Do

Collect data based on the plan.
3

Study

Analyse the data to identify trends and compare results to predictions.
4

Act

Implement changes based on the analysis and plan the next cycle.
