In this episode, you'll learn about PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) which is a great topic requested by a listener just like you. In management, PDCA is used all the time when implementing new workflows. But you can and probably do use PDCA all the time, even in your personal life. You just don't put a label on it. 

Chances are, you might be asked about PDCA on the exam. Management is a big section of the exam and you should have a basic knowledge of management and these strategies used in management especially if you find yourself in a management role. 

I use my love of storytelling to explain what PDCA is and use an example to go over each step of this strategy. 

This is what you'll learn in this episode:

All about PDCA including what happens in each step

P for Plan: What planning involves when using PDCA

D for Do: What's involved in "doing" when using PDCA

C for Check: Why checking in on the process change is so important when using PDCA

A for Act or Action: Why you need to follow through with action to make sure the change in workflow continues

I also explain how I used PDCA when I was not yet in management but how I worked with my manager and the physicians to implement a new process and workflow.
