Boating Beyond Simple Shewhart Model 11
Destinations • Purpose—To provide a quick long distance view. • Content • Time or observations between events (g, h, t charts). • CUSUM and EWMA • Following a panel of patients • Small Multiples (Thanks to Jerry Langley) • Problem of changing denominators. • Comparing beginning and ending performance • Prevalence difference vs. Percent Improvement • Scatterplots • Smoothed Curves vs. Control Charts
Analyzing Rare Events Using Time or Occurrences Between Them
t and g chart summary • t-chart measures the time between events • g-chart measures the number of incidents (procedures, admission) between events • Both charts are useful when looking at rare events • Eliminates the need to wait for a long time period to collect enough data points
