End of pipe measures whuile key to the business have longer PDCA cycles and are hard to move since there are so many variables involved.Alistair Norvalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826254962738971743.post-21747812305872075952012-05-11T00:08:58.169-04:002012-05-11T00:08:58.169-04:00Measures are tricky, I don't think there are e...Measures are tricky, I don't think there are easy answers (no check list of measure these 8 things...).<br /><br />Just mentioning in-process measures puts this well ahead of much of what is said on the topic of measurement. I think you need a variety of in-process and outcome measures. And these measures should be re-evaluated by those working with them (do they still provide the insight they did when we started using them, are they useful...).<br /><br />In-process measures are often the most useful. They can be used daily and can be used to measure PDSA success or failure... Often outcome measures are the most important but are often less directly actionable. Often they tell you we better start looking at x and then you need to go look at some more detailed measures in that area...John Hunterhttp://johnhunter.com/noreply@blogger.com
