4.2.1: Schedule improvement cycles
4.2.2: Decide who and what needs to be incorporated in the improvement cycle, which routine(s) will you and your team focus on in this improvement cycle. Designate the different rungs of the data ladder to prepare, meet, follow-up.
4.2.3: Prep Data to be reviewed during the Improvement Cycle
4.2.4: Paraphrase - review data results of outcomes and progress to goal(s) (including EOY Report when applicable)
4.2.5: Explain it - find the root cause that you wish to address
4.2.6: Decide - Create new SMART goal and action plan.
4.2.7: Document past version, new learnings and change ideas
It's a three step process that prompts us to learn and evolve our practices using data and implementation. It is important to the Data Collaborative's work because it promotes continuous improvement based on how well strategies are impacting specific outcomes.
The IMPR 4.2 is dependent on the completion of at least one, and at most all, of the routines in the Data Collaborative. The Improvement Cycle is dependent on these because it needs a scope, or constraints, to be implemented and the routines are used as those constraints.
The IMPR 4.2 influences at least one, and at most all, of the routines in the Data Collaborative. The Improvement Cycle is the process of learning from what has happened and deciding how to improve it. Based on the outcome of the Improvement Cycle process, routines will shift or be reinforced based on what occurred.

To document past change ideas, use the SMART Goals & Reflection tab found in Homebase, under the 4.2 routine (the last section on this page).
