List of terms related to Positive deviance

In quality improvement, Positive deviance is a "bottom-up" approach to quality improvement[1]. An description of this method was[2]:

  • "Develop case definitions"
  • "Identify four to six people who have achieved an unexpected good outcome despite high risk"
  • "Interview and observe these people to discover uncommon behaviours or enabling factors that could explain the good outcome"
  • "Analyse the findings to confirm that the behaviours are uncommon and accessible to those who need to adopt them"
  • "Design behaviour change activities to encourage community adoption of the new behaviours"
  • "Monitor implementation and evaluate the results"

A more recent listing of the steps is[3]:

  • Identify 'positive deviants,' i.e., organizations that consistently demonstrate exceptionally high performance in the area of interest (e.g., proper medication use, timeliness of care)
  • Study the organizations in-depth using qualitative methods to generate hypotheses about practices that allow organizations to achieve top performance
  • Test hypotheses statistically in larger, representative samples of organizations
  • Work in partnership with key stakeholders, including potential adopters, to disseminate the evidence about newly characterized best practice

Positive deviance is consistent with complexity leadership[4][5][6].

Positive deviance may include grounded theory, ethnography methods, guided conversations/interviews, and focus groups[7].

Not all QI measures may be appropriate[8].


Methods

Overviews of methods are available[3][9].

Positive deviance is a viable strategy with variation in performance is present. Variation in performance has been measured with the coefficient of variation[10].

1. Identifying deviants

Ideally, positive deviants should be identified by blinded comparison to control groups[11], yet this is infrequently done[1] and instead deviants are informally identified by reputation[12][13].

Various statistical approaches are used to identify the true deviants[14][15][16][8].

Performance rates may need adjustment before comparison[17].

Inadequate sample may hinder identifying deviants[18]. Regression to the mean may confound identifying postive deviances and the assessment of improvement[19].

Psychology, barriers and promoters of shared learning

Learning of success can inspire others[20] to perform. On the other hand, "Individuals with higher levels of [Performance‐prove goal orientation] PPGO have decreased self-efficacy and performance when observing higher performing coworkers"[21]

Interventions and assessments using positive deviants

Clinical problem Variation found Organizational issues among causes found
Acute myocardial infarction[22] Adjusted mortality: mean 15.4% (SD, 1.5%; range, 11.5% to 21.7%) Fostering an organizational environment in which clinicians are encouraged to solve problems creatively
Having physician and nurse champions rather than nurse champions alone
Sepsis[10] Length of stay: median (IQR) 4.9 (3.0-7.9) Not queried
Beta-blockers after myocardial infarction[23] Rates not reported shared goals for improvement
substantial administrative support
strong physician leadership advocating beta-blocker use
use of credible data feedback
Dabigatran adherence[24] 74% (IQR: 66%-80%) Organizational strategies not assessed

Reports of using positive deviance to assess the tactics behind successful performance have been published:
