Which statement best describes the 'A' component of the PDSA performance improvement model?

• A. Determine how changes will be implemented
• B. Implement the intervention
• C. Determine the impact of the intervention
• D. Maintain and continue improvement

Answer: (D)

Act centers on what you do with what you’ve learned after studying the results. It’s about consolidating gains, adopting successful changes, and standardizing them so they become routine, while also planning the next cycle to keep improving. In this sequence, Plan is about deciding what changes to test and how to implement them; Do is carrying out the intervention; Study is determining the impact. So maintaining and continuing improvement best describes the “A” component.
