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] and learning health systems[7]
Positive deviance may include grounded theory, ethnography methods, guided conversations/interviews, and focus groups[8].
Not all QI measures may be appropriate[9].
Methods
Overviews of methods are available[3][10].
Positive deviance is a viable strategy with variation in performance is present. Variation in performance has been measured with the coefficient of variation[11].
1. Identifying deviants
Ideally, positive deviants should be identified by blinded comparison to control groups[12], yet this is infrequently done[1] and instead deviants are informally identified by reputation[13][14].
Various statistical approaches are used to identify the true deviants[15][16][17][9].
Performance rates may need adjustment before comparison[18].
Inadequate sample may hinder identifying deviants[19]. Regression to the mean may confound identifying postive deviances and the assessment of improvement[20].
Learning of success can inspire others[21] 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"[22] Coworker envy make occur depending on relationships between colleagues and managers[23].
Interventions and assessments using positive deviants
Clinical problem | Variation found | Organizational issues among causes found |
---|---|---|
Acute myocardial infarction[24] | 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[11] | Length of stay: median (IQR) 4.9 (3.0-7.9) | Not queried |
Beta-blockers after myocardial infarction[25] | Rates not reported | shared goals for improvement substantial administrative support strong physician leadership advocating beta-blocker use use of credible data feedback |
Dabigatran adherence[26] | 74% (IQR: 66%-80%) | Organizational strategies not assessed |
Reports of using positive deviance to assess the tactics behind successful performance have been published:
Reports of using positive deviance to assess and improve performance have been published[10] Specific examples include:
- Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Hospitalizations[29]
- Myocardial infarction treatment[3][24] including:
- beta-blockers[25]
- Percutaneous coronary intervention door to balloon time[3]
- Patient activation[30]
- Reduction in hospital readmission[29].
- Hospital infections[5][6][31].
- Antimicrobial stewardship in hemodialysis[32][33]
- Anticoagulation with warfarin[34][35] and dabigatran[26]
- Diabetes chronic care
- Public health problems in developing regions[37]
- Improvement in efficiency of care delivery by examining heterogeneity in costs of care by providers[11][38]
- Thoracic surgery complications[39][40]
- Medication errors[41]
