The completion of each PDSA cycle leads directly into the start of
the next cycle.
In the study part of each cycle we learn from the test and use the
knowledge to act and plan the next test by asking ourselves:
• What did we learn and has it been documented?
• What worked and what didn't?
• What should be kept, changed, or abandoned?
We continue to link tests in this way, refining the change until
it is ready for broader implementation and eventually becomes
embedded in daily practice.
