Why use this tool?

• Use a measurement plan in order to clearly set out your family of around 3-8 measures that you will be using to track progress in your improvement project. 
• The template will prompt you to think through your measures thoroughly, and when complete it will be an essential communication and reference document for your project team.
• This will help ensure consistency of measurement over time and between team members, so minimising the potential for adding in variation to your data that could make it harder to see what’s actually happening.
