With the current Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirement for a practice quality improvement (PQI) project every 3 years, we all (well, most of us) find ourselves searching for projects that are both manageable and likely to have a positive impact on our clinical practice. In this session we will walk through the use of the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle to address a common finding in practices where fluoroscopically guided interventions (FGI) are performed: variation in procedural doses among physicians. We will also examine strategies to secure physician support using carrots, not sticks. Learning Objectives: 1. Review the PDSA cycle and its application to PQI. 2. Discuss strategies for action in the example presented. 3. Examine strategies for successful group PQI projects.A. Kyle Jones: Owner, FluoroSafety Joseph R. Steele: Consultant, FluoroSafety
