Description

Run Chart

A run chart is a line graph of data plotted over time. By collecting and charting data over time, you can find trends or patterns in the process. Because they do not use control limits, run charts cannot tell you if a process is stable. However, they can show you how the process is running.

The learning module will cover the primary objective when and how to use a Run chart

Pareto

Pareto analysis is a simple technique that helps you to focus efforts on the problems that offer the greatest potential for improvement by showing their relative frequency or size in a descending bar graph. The Pareto Principle is also known as the 80-20 rule and is a statistical technique that helps us focus on the problems that offer the greatest potential for improvement.

AIM Statement
Healthcare processes are very complex and improving them requires quite a bit of diligence. In order to improve, we must understand how and what contributes in achieving the AIM. An aim statement is written to document what you want to achieve from your improvement project and a timeframe for achieving it.

The learning module will cover the primary objective of writing an aim statement and how to write an effective statement to achieve your goals.
