QI section of OSCE APPLIED exam

[Lashler9054]

Studying for OSCE. Focusing on QI. Do I have to know anything else besides PDSA or Lean six sigma. Is there anything else I need to know? Do I need to know root cause analysis? Has anyone that has taken the OSCE been asked on this?

Just regurgitated PDSA (which I pretty much "learned" the night before the exam) and passed.

Watch the 3 minute video on the OSCE website. You literally just talk a colleague through creating a QI project and address the 5 steps of a QI project as discussed in that video. They're not trying to trick you, it's literally exactly what's on the website.

Where is that video? I looked at both the content outline and the example scenarios on the ABA website and couldn’t find a QI sample video. I saw sample videos and pics for the technical portions of the exam though

Can you please provide a link to this specific video? I can’t find it. Perhaps there’s a place I haven’t looked

looks like they got rid of the video, but the video literally just read off the 5 components from the content outline. 1) measure what your going to try to improve, 2) talk to all the stakeholders and create a plan ...

God, this test. What a ****ing waste of time, money, life...everything.

Has anyone had to recite how to do RCA analysis?

PDSA as mentioned above. Do not over think it.

 

[AdmiralChz]

If I was grading these things and you launched into six sigma and Swiss cheese analogies it’d be instant fail.

seriously do NOT overthink this. Watch the video and regurgitate. It’s very basic (disclosure, I didn’t have that station).

The American Board of Anesthesiology - Videos here's the link for some of it.

i didn't see the QI?

Ok. Good to hear. I’m taking a mock exam through a prep course that was recommended on here for the OSCE and the mock question was literally how to go through an RCA. That didn’t seem right. Wanted to confirm
