From the success of the first Simplexity collection, we know you like to work on projects that are as simple and easy to use as possible, projects that produce a sophisticated, cutting edge result for your production. Because of this we have been hard at work creating more of these simple yet complex templates just for you! Make way for Simplexity Collection 2, another unique collection of powerfully simple animated projects that push the limits of cutting-edge style, while still remaining exceptionally intuitive and easy to use -- even for a beginner. This collection is a unique blend of simple and complex contained in more than 20 animated template ideas that cover a wide variety of styles and potential uses. These animated ideas can be easily put to work as-is or just as easily adapted for any type of project, giving you the inspiration to draw from - and a ready-to-use, well-designed starting point - for everything from high-tech show opens, wedding videos and network show promos to broadcast television commercials, sports highlights reels and training material. In this video, take a look at the kind of work you can do with this resource at your fingertips. No stress, no bother -- just simple, easy templates providing you with exactly what you need.

The brand-new, innovative BCC+ Smear Blur filter is joining BCC blurs collection adding the ability to create artistic blur effects by smearing or blurring pixels forward and backward along the Z axis while providing the unique option to rotate the smeared/blurred pixels around the Z axis.
After-Effects is one of the best visual effects and motion graphics softwares used by designers for making many types of videos, including animations. When After-Effects projects are unorganized, work can become quite challenging.
After Effects plugin tools , puppet tool, expression rigs, graph editor in after effects are some of the tools you maybe using widely. But sometimes it ends up unorganized, and it becomes difficult for someone to edit the files if required in the future. It can become tough and may take a lot of time to understand the file.
The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) method is widely used in quality improvement (QI) strategies. However, previous studies have indicated that methodological problems are frequent in PDSA-based QI projects. Furthermore, it has been difficult to establish an association between the use of PDSA and improvements in clinical practices and patient outcomes. The aim of this systematic review was to examine whether recently published PDSA-based QI projects show self-reported effects and are conducted according to key features of the method.
A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase and CINAHL databases. QI projects using PDSA published in peer-reviewed journals in 2015 and 2016 were included. Projects were assessed to determine the reported effects and the use of the following key methodological features; iterative cyclic method, continuous data collection, small-scale testing and use of a theoretical rationale.
In order to improve local QI projects, Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQUIRE) guidelines have been developed to provide a framework for reporting QI projects [18, 34]. Still, it remains unclear to what extent the increasing methodological awareness is reflected in PDSA-based QI projects published in recent years. Therefore, we performed a systematic review of recent peer-reviewed publications reporting QI projects using the PDSA methodology in healthcare and focused on the use of key features in the design and on the reported effects of the projects.
A pre-specified, quantitative aim can assist to facilitate evaluation of whether the changes represent clinically relevant improvements when using the PDSA method [16]. Self-reported effects of the projects were registered using four categories: 1) Quantitative aim set and reached; 2) No quantitative aim set, improvement registered; 3) Quantitative aim set but not reached; 4) No quantitative aim and no improvement registered.
The search identified 311 QI projects of which 195 remained after duplicate removal. A total of 40 and 35 projects were discarded after screening abstracts and full texts, respectively. Hence, a total of 120 projects met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review (see Fig. 2).
All 120 projects included were assessed for the self-reported effects. Overall, 118/120 (98%) projects reported improvement. Thirty-two (27%) achieved a pre-specified aim set in the planning process, whereas 68 (57%) reported an improvement without a pre-specified aim. Eighteen projects (15%) reported setting an aim and not reaching it while two (2%) projects did not report a pre-specified aim and did not report any improvement.
The application of the key PDSA features appeared to be highly inconsistent. The iterative method was used in 75 projects (79%), continuous data collection in 48 (67%), an explicit theoretical rational was present in 26 (36%) projects and small-scale testing was carried out by 10 (14%) (Fig. 3a). All key features of the method were applied in 3/72 projects (4%), while 20 (28%), 26 (36%), and 18 (25%) used three, two, and one feature respectively. Five projects (7%) lacked all features (Fig. 3b). See Additional file 3 for a full summary of the findings.
Continuous measurements over time with three or more data points at regular intervals were used by 48 (67%) out of 72 projects. Of these 48, half used run charts, while the other half used control charts. Other types of data measurement such as before and after or per PDSA cycle or having a single data point as outcome after cycle(s) was done by 18 (25%) and 5 (7%), respectively. One project did not report their data. Sixty-five projects (90%) used a baseline measurement for comparison.
The claim that PDSA leads to improvement should be interpreted with caution. The methodological limitations in many of the projects makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the size and the causality of the reported improvements in quality of care. The methodological limitations question the legitimacy of PDSA as an effective improvement method in health care. The widespread lack of theoretical rationale and continuous data collection in the projects makes it difficult to track and correct the process as well as to relate an improvement to the use of the method [10, 11]. The apparent limited use of the iterative approach and small-scale-testing constitute an additional methodological limitation. Without these tools of testing and adapting one can risk introducing unintended consequences [1, 36]. Hence, QI initiatives may potentially tamper with the system in unforeseen ways creating more harm and waste than improvement. The low use of small-scale-testing could perhaps originate in a widespread misunderstanding that one should test large-scale to get a proper statistical power. However, this is not necessarily the case with PDSA [15].
This review has some limitations. We only included PDSA projects reported in peer-reviewed journals, which represents just a fraction of all QI projects being conducted around the globe. Further, it might be difficult to publish projects that do not document improvements. This may introduce potential publication bias. Future studies could use the framework to examine the grey literature of evaluation reports etc. to see if the pattern of methodological limitations is consistent. The fact that a majority of the projects reported positive change could also indicate a potential bias. For busy QI practitioners the process of translating a clinical project into a publication could well be motivated by a positive finding with projects with negative effects not being reported. However, we should not forget that negative outcome of a PDSA project may still contribute with valuable learning and competence building [4, 6].

Evaluation is critical to determine if a specific project or group of projects is achieving the desired results and to ensure the investments have been worthwhile. The evaluation will provide a quantitative estimate of the effects on safety of a specific countermeasure, project, or group of projects. The evaluation results can provide valuable information for future planning. For example, the evaluation of a particular countermeasure can be used to determine if it should be used at more sites.
