"Shewart charts in the monitoring of the process of stroke care"
Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of
severe physical disability in Scotland. Since 2001, data have been
collected on the process of care of stroke patients at three major
hospitals at Lothian - since 2002 as part of the Scottish National Stroke
Audit. Shewhart control charts, widely used in industry since the 1920's,
have now been used with data on the process of the care of stroke
patients. The talk will explain the construction of the charts, discuss
the various tests for evidence of special causes of variation that may be
applied, and refer to current research.
ALL WELCOME. The meeting is free of charge.
