PDSA Cycles
The PDSA cycle is shorthand for
testing a change by developing a
plan to test the change (Plan),
carrying out the test (Do), observing
and learning from the consequences
(Study), and determining what
modifications should be made to the
test (Act).
• A comprehensive list of essential components of
care, prioritised according to required completion
time
• Incorporating elements to improve not only safety
but patient experience through their ED journey.
• A multidisciplinary tool to provide safe, timely
emergency care
What is the ED Safety Checklist?
• Feedback from ED Team
• Review of Clinical Incidents
• Review of complaints
• Inclusion of information from nursing
indicators
How was it conceived?

Vital signs, NEWS, pain scoring
• Frontloading of investigations
• Promotion of care pathways
• Early identification of required referrals onto
specialist teams
What does it comprise of?
• Checklist pilot trial
• Checklist roll out
• Reformation of ED Safety Checklist Team
• Collection of multi-sourced feedback
How was it implemented?

department acuity
• Varying attitudes from different staff groups
• Data collection
What problems did we face?
• Length of Stay
• Outliers

• Clinical Incidents
• Patient Experience
How did we measure our success?

• We’re full
• We’re not performing
• Stop bringing patients
• I need nurses and beds
• We’re unsafe
• We want a divert

Just shut the doors and don’t
let ‘em in

What is the ‘Life’ System?
• A web based platform designed to assist front line staff running
Quality and Safety improvement projects
