$5$ points

Ana and her team identified a process problem in their unit: the exam rooms are taking too long to be cleaned and disinfected between patients, which is causing a back$-$up in the schedule for both patients and primary care physicians. She puts together a team of people to work on this process. First, they map the problem. Then, they collect data on the dimensions of the clinic sanitation process and select a goal. Once they have completed this work, they create an implementation and move forward with their improvements. Over the next $30$ days, Ana and her team study whether their improvements are working. They continue collecting data and then they have a meeting to determine whether the process improvement was successful. Ana has successfully utilized which quality improvement model?
