Rapid cycle change sells itself.
Strategic quality management consultants at Quorum Health Resources, LLC, headquartered in Brentwood, TN, recently introduced rapid cycle change to hospital clients. The answers to three defined questions, the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, and testing the improvements on a small scale under a variety of conditions are the basis of rapid cycle change. The initial results are encouraging. To obtain a deeper evaluation of the clients' experience, a modified qualitative research methodology was utilized to obtain and analyze information. Five themes emerged that support rapid cycle change as an elegantly simple and effective model.
