A PSDA cycle is a trial run in which you try out your plan for a specific period of time, and the “end” is when you review the data (the weekly run chart reports you can download from this web portal or looking at your VHealth dashboard) and discuss with your team to assess if you need to modify or add to your current plan to improve more. So the length of time can vary based on what activities you are trying, and it depends on how long it would take to be able to see an impact. It’s important to note that you don’t actually stop doing the new activities you have been trying out at the end of the PSDA cycle; it’s just a time to reflect and plan your next PDSA cycle or decide you’ve optimized your plan and you’re ready to stop doing PDSA cycles and adopt the final plan as your standard practice moving forward.
