Affinity Diagram Example

Activity Diagram Doctor Practice

An affinity diagram is the organized output from a brainstorming session. Use it to generate, organize, and consolidate information related to a product, process, complex issue, or problem. After generating ideas, group them according to their affinity, or similarity.

The following example comes from a hospital setting. Seeking to better understand the barriers to on-time delivery of medications, the team created an affinity diagram in six steps.

1. Assigned a group leader for the activity.
   
2. Agreed on a statement of the issue or problem.
   Tip: Stating the problem in the form of a question (“What are the barriers to on-time delivery of medications?”) can often prove useful.
   
3. Brainstormed and recorded ideas.
   Tip: You have two main options for gathering ideas from team members. Participation by everyone in the group is assured with silent recording (option b, below), but traditional brainstorming can also generate ideas.
   1. Traditional brainstorming—In order around the group, each person writes an idea or response to the question on a 3” x 5” card while announcing the content of the card to the group.
   2. Silent recording—Each person writes responses on 3” x 5” cards or sticky notes, one idea per card, until all team members have exhausted their store of ideas.
      
4. Attached all of the cards to the wall, grouping similar ideas together. For example, the team posted together all topics that suggested that the pharmacy may be understaffed.
   Tip: After posting all ideas the first time, fine-tune the groupings by moving cards from one pile to another to reflect closer ties. Team members should talk with each other as they arrange the ideas.
   
5. Labeled each final grouping with a header identifying the general topic that all items in the group share. See the figure below.
   
6. Reviewed final groupings and headers. By walking around and examining the posted notes, all members of the group had an opportunity to see the groupings and then to comment on them.

Next Steps: Making Connections to Other Tools

While an affinity diagram may present interesting data and useful ideas, the exercise itself should lead to further analysis. The team can now use a relations diagram, for example, or even a cause-and-effect (fishbone) diagram to get to root causes for late medications.

An affinity diagram, above all, stimulates discussion about a problem or issue, opening up possibilities for improvement or solution.
