Take-Home Points
| Pick a framework early and walk the reader through the components of the framework. |
| Clearly state the project aim. |
| Clearly define primary, secondary, and balancing measures with operational definitions such that anybody could replicate in their own system. |
| Follow data prospectively through time with run charts at minimum, or control charts, when possible. |
| Annotate control charts to help tell the story of how interventions influenced changes in data over time. |
| If your team did PDSA cycles (and we highly recommend they do), share your learnings and how they built to your team’s eventual interventions. |
