Plan-do-study-act Cycles

Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycles is an iterative, four-stage quality improvement methodology that structures the testing and refinement of changes in healthcare systems through sequential phases of planning a change, implementing it on a small scale, analyzing data on its effects, and acting on the findings to adapt, adopt, or abandon the change in subsequent cycles.
