    This document provides guidance on conducting a gap analysis when implementing a new guideline or model of care. It outlines the diagnostic phase which aims to understand the current state from different perspectives to identify gaps and priorities. Key steps include identifying the requirements of the new model, self-assessing current practice, prioritizing gaps, and using tools like data analysis and process mapping to further examine gaps and their root causes to inform solutions. Stakeholder involvement is important throughout to understand barriers and stage implementation of changes over time rather than attempting to address all gaps at once.

    GAP ANALYSIS

    Diagnostics

    Gap analysis
    If you plan to implement an existing guideline or model of care,
    a gap analysis can be used to determine where your ‘gaps’ or
    ACI Redesign needs are and what you need to change.
    Methodology
    Diagnostics
    The purpose of this phase is to gain a comprehensive
    understanding of the current state from different perspectives.
    Once you know the issues you can prioritise them and establish
    the root causes, so you develop the right solutions.

    Next steps
    Just like with anything else you create, it is always important that you review your gap analysis for major errors and omissions. It’s a
    good idea to have someone familiar with the guideline or model to review your findings before you present them.
