A nurse manager wishes to implement the Model for Improvement with the rest of the team. The nurse manager knows that the Model for Improvement begins with three questions. Which of the following is not necessarily one of the three questions?
a. What are we trying to accomplish?
b. What change is needed for improvement?
c. What change can we make that will result in improvement?
d. How will we know that a change is an improvement?
B
The three primary questions that the Model for Improvement begins with are "What are we trying to
accomplish?", "How will we know that a change is an improvement?" (not "What change is needed
for improvement?"), and "What change can we make that will result in improvement?" These three
questions begin the PDSA cycle for improvement for this model.
