The purpose of the Preparation Phase is to establish the necessary conditions for the success of the improvement initiative. The Process Improvement Program (PIP) aims to complete the Preparation Phase in eight weeks. Depending on your hospital’s state of readiness, however, you may find that more or less time is appropriate. During the Preparation Phase, you need to identify your project team and align on the mandate, project deliverables and key metrics to track during the course of the improvement initiative. Finally, during this stage, you will assess readiness to proceed to the subsequent phase.
The Preparation Toolkit download (top right corner) includes workplans and all the necessary tools, guidelines and checklists to complete this phase — feel free to explore these components individually by clicking on the corresponding links below.
