This systemic approach includes the use of techniques such as audit, PDSA cycles the understand of measurement for improvement to build a project.
Why does it matter to me?
How doesn’t it matter to you!! Bed blocks, 4 hour waiting time, Patients awaiting discharge, are these things that are affecting you on a daily basis? Then it matters to you.
