I learned about the model of improvement during a course on continuous quality improvement. After taking on online class offered by the IHI Open School, I learned about this model and thought, hey, why not give it a try.
I know its not about hospital safety, but I have some improvements I would like to make-- so this is my personal model for improvement.
Here is a video that got me interested in the topic:

I really think that if I stick to this model I can see change, even if it's for personal reasons...
