Quality models play a very significant role in evaluating the value of health care services
in a given organization, by ensuring that the set goals and the desired results are met. Quality
models provide a framework for providing quality services to patients. PSDA model consists of
four stages, Plan-Do-Study-Act which are used for improving and making changes. Using the
model, it gives the patients an opportunity of giving out feedback on the services they receive.
For any plan for improving its critically important to know the intended goal and how to measure
the success of achievement (Vordenberg,et.al, 2018). Six Sigma focuses on improving a patient's
safety through the elimination of errors. The approach uses five steps of defining, measuring,
analyzing, improving and controlling. The framework fosters teamwork by involving different
departments in a health organization, consequently reducing variation, reduce waste and improve
overall outcome. By this, the patient's care is improved (Ismyrlis & Moschidis, 2018). A
fishbone diagram is used to show the causes of certain actions or effects. Graphically, it shows
how the causes of certain effects relate to each other and identify the areas of improvement. The
diagram helps the nurses to be focused on the cause of the problem rather than the symptoms of
the problem and therefore they can get the solution of the problem to the patient, on the other
hand, Lean is a method that helps in changing the way of thinking of an organization aiming in
transforming the behavior or culture of an organization over time. By the same token, it helps to
improve the value of the patients by minimizing wastes or waits (Farghaly & Ahmed, 2019).
Additionally, health practitioners easily notice the needs of the patients and can act practically to
meet them.
