Worn for Seven Days

five years of measuring transdermal patches in wear, and how a steady dose became the School's model for improvement

The School of Continuous Improvement's Impact Report 2021-2026 follows five years of work on drug-free test patches in wear and the patches returned at removal: a five-band edge-lift card two scorers came to agree on 94 times in 100, wear diaries that reported full adhesion on day five for 90 per cent of patches against 64 per cent in photographs, and a residual-content protocol that found a median 58 per cent of labelled load remaining and led the School to withdraw its own delivered-fraction indicator. It closes with the Capability Sprints' move to a seven-day format of twenty minutes a morning, which improved application at ninety days on all five Sprints, and a reporting window that holds every indicator until its stated lag has passed.
