Series Structure
Series Structure
The entire series is not meant to be implemented contiguously, but rather over the course of a year or years, to allow changes in mindset and practice to take root at a deep level.
We, the series creators, do not have any delusions that theses are exemplar products and encourage providers to improve upon the product within the boundaries of the big ideas and required mindsets. We encourage those that improve upon the units to send their versions back to the writing team so that we can incorporate the improvements.
While the majority of the units are meant to be done sequentially, the Integrating into Practice: PDSA units can be implemented anytime after unit 2 is completed and can be implemented to various degrees multiple times during the series. We recommend usage of these units at least once, if not after each unit, once units 1 and 2 have been implemented.
Required Mindsets
