Question

what are a few examples of fade model?

Answer 1

Ans) FADE model:

Focus: Define and verify the process to be improved.
Analyze: Collect and analyze data to establish baselines, identify root causes, and point toward possible solutions.
Develop: Based on collected data, develop action plans for improvement, including implementation, communication, and measuring/monitoring.
Execute and Execute: Implement action plans, on a pilot basis, and install an ongoing measuring/monitoring (process control) system to ensure success.

Example:

- One institutional quality improvement model, the FADE process, offers a useful approach to assessing and improving diabetes inpatient education.

- First, we focused on the 17% of all inpatients on one day who had diabetes. Second, we analyzed the current level of diabetes education provided, using a quality improvement (QI) survey tool. The most interesting data revealed that we offered education less frequently to people over age 65, but that older patients who received education had higher scores than younger patients who received education. Third, we developed a diabetes teaching protocol for use by staff nurses with inpatients.

- Finally, 6 months after protocol implementation, we re-executed our QI survey tool. We found that test scores were slightly better than pre-protocol-implementation survey scores, but that fewer patients had received self-management education. The poor implementation of the protocol was investigated, and steps are being taken to improve diabetes care and education.
