After having understood the current workflow and identified areas for improvement, the team must decide where to focus their initial efforts. It is important for the team to make a clear vision about what to improve first and it should be a vision which is simple, easily understood, and inspiring to all staff. Ensure all stakeholders, especially clinicians are excited, as it is unlikely that they will support improvement efforts if they are not involved at this stage.
For example, if you want to focus in the ED, then the vision can be “To improve the recognition of patients with sepsis and initial treatment in the ED”.
