Perfect Week, including with community
• The perfect week methodology is a way of resetting a
broken system relying on a mixture of social movement
theory, multiple rapid improvement methodology and
strong leadership and support mechanisms.
• It has been developed to help solve poor flow in hospitals
resulting in overcrowding in emergency departments. One
week of intense improvement activity can improve flow
across the whole hospital resulting in safer, higher quality
care and it can then be sustained.
