A quality improvement model a formal systematic approach that analyses practice performance and efforts on how to improve performance. An example of a quality improvement model that can be used in the report is plan-Do Study- Act. It is a quality improvement that aims at creating positive changes in nursing care activities to affect the results favorably. The technique has been extensively employed in the institutions for nurse care enhancement for quick cycle upgrading. The nature of the cyclic influencing and evaluating alteration mostly accomplished efficiently through frequent and small Plan-Do-Study-Acts rather than slow and big ones before any changes are done system-wide is a unique attribute of this model (Tools and Strategies for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety - Patient Safety and Quality - NCBI Bookshelf,). Through the rapid small cycles of improvement and change, the group gains the ability to evaluate the influence of improved techniques at regular intervals. Cycling through the similar topic more than once makes the group test if the change made had an impact and the process refined as needed. To enhance quality concept improvement, the group should undergo multiple cycles through the Plan-Do-Study-Act.

The primary role of Plan-Do-Study-Act is to create a primary or functional connection between outcomes and changes in a process specifically abilities and behaviors. Before using the model some questions should be proposed (Myers Blank,). The items may include the goals or targets of the project, how it will be known if the target is reached and actions to be done to attain the goal.

Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle begins with evaluating the attribute and the scope of the problem and the variations that ought to be made. Planning for alteration and what to be assessed to comprehend the influence of the change and the target of the approach is as well done. The planning step in the model will be used in the identification of the opportunity to design and improve test of how something operates within a component of the clinical workflow. It includes establishing indicators to evaluate the progress towards the goal (Oneill, Jones, Bennett Lewis, 2011). The Do step carries out plans for improvement of specific components of the workflow of the clinic. The study step evaluates the results, and finally, the act step incorporates changes establishes quality improvement plans based on the results. Finally, the action is taken through the implementation of the change or the process can be started again.

In conclusion, a suitable model should be chosen during the analysis of performance to ensure the quality is improved based on the information obtained from the model. This will make positive changes in nurse care methods for satisfactory outcomes.
