Run charts (line charts) are useful to show how you have impacted progress across time. Each chart has baseline, target, actual performance, and year to date if applicable. Colors should be as follows: Baseline: Black dashed line Target: Green solid line Actual: Black solid line Year to date is optional: Blue These could be taken directly off of a model cell scorecard, as available. Histograms (bar charts) are useful for summarizing impact when comparing approaches, periods of time (i.e baseline vs year-to-date), or categories. Further analysis and Stratification: In order to learn more 6 about why you have not achieved your stratification of gaps; Learnings targets, divide your data into relevant groups (strata) based on key characteristics, such as: Especially if you have not achieved your target, analyze Who: which patients, staff or why not. Insert summary of departments? relevant analysis, learnings Where: Unit, clinic, setting? and/or stratification What: machines, equipment, products How: defect types, cause When: time of day, day of week, step of process Top Contributors: As you study your problem and why 5 about “ask times” why you continue to have performance gaps, quantify the top contributors or root causes to target for future countermeasures. 7 New Countermeasures/ Include: Examples:
