The
Institute for Healthcare Improvement champions using the rapid
cycle improvement for change. In the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle

This
model relies heavily on a team approach to meeting the long-term
needs of the patient with chronic care needs. It involves creating
guidelines so the entire team uses a consistent approach and
addresses getting the patient to take an active role in his
or her care. |
