  1. 6/26/2013 Basic Tools for Data Analysis Michael D. Chance MSM, MBA, MSQM, CPHQ, CQIA, CSSGB Objectives 1. Define data. 2. Explain some barriers to successfully using data. 3. Explain the purpose and use of select quality data tools Explain common misconceptions and 4. limitations that arise from reporting “averages” or from relying on a single tool. Page 1 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:18 PM What is Data? Data is: Factual information used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation. Page 2 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:18 PM 1

  2. 6/26/2013 What Things are Considered Data? • Medications Given (Dosages, Routes, etc.) • Vital Signs / Symptoms • Patient Characteristics (Age, Sex, Race, etc) • Costs • Therapies • Staff Turnover, Working Hours, Ratios • Times (Admission, Discharge, etc.) • Anything we can document to measure performance. Page 3 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM “We measure performance in healthcare for two basic purposes. We measure first as a basis for making judgments and decisions… Second, we measure as the basis for future improvements” Dennis O’Leary Former President, JCAHO Page 4 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM Barriers To Putting Data Into Action • Don’t even know where to get data / info • Paralysis by analysis • No one is interested in it • Incorrect interpretation of data • Too complex to understand • Defensiveness Page 5 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM 2

  3. 6/26/2013 Stages of Coping with Data • Stage I : “The data are wrong….” • Stage II : “The data are right, but it’s not a problem…” • Stage III : “The data are right, it’s a problem, but it’s not my problem…” • Stage IV : “The data are right, it’s a problem, it’s my problem…” Page 6 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM How Do We Make Sense of Data? Page 7 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM Quality Improvement Tools “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail.” Abraham Maslow, 1966 Page 8 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM 3

  4. 6/26/2013 Purpose of QI Tools • Describe and improve processes • Evaluate process or output variation • Assist with decision-making • Analyze data in a variety of ways • Display information Page 9 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM QI Tools Help Answer 5 Questions 1. Where am I at? 2. Where do I want to be? 3. How do I get there? 4. Am I still on the right path? 5. How well did I do?

  5. 6/26/2013 Purpose of QI Tools However, you don’t have to use EVERY tool for every problem.

  10. 6/26/2013 Basic Decision Making Tools • Scatter Diagram Page 27 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM Scatter Diagrams A graph of paired data points plotted on a table that helps identify the possible relationship between the changes observed in two different sets of variables. Page 28 xxx00.#####.ppt 6/26/2013 1:42:19 PM Why use Scatter Diagrams? • Supplies the data to confirm a hypothesis that two variables are related. • Provides both a visual and statistical means to test the strength of a potential relationship. • Provides a good follow-up to a Cause and Effect Diagram to find out if there is more than just a consensus connection between causes and the effect.
