The model for improvement (mfi), developed by associates in process. Improvement, is a simple yet powerful tool for executing improvement: there are other useful models to guide improvement, such as lean and six. The mfi has two parts: three fundamental questions: What change can we make that will result in improvement: the plan-do-study-act (pdsa) cycle, for testing changes. Applying the mfi requires the following five steps: set an aim, establish measures, identify changes, test changes, implement changes. Measuring answers the second question of the model for improvement, how will we know a change is an improvement? . Measuring for improvement is different from measuring for research: the goal is to gather only enough data to inform whether to adapt, adopt, or discard an idea.
