ObjectivesIn the next 30 Minutes we will: Differentiate among data for accountability,
for research and for improvement Review how to effectively display Falls data
using a run chart Analyze your run chart data “by the rules” Consider strategies to share your data
effectively with others
![Page 3: What is Your Data Telling You? Clara Ballantine, SIA Ontario Falls VLC Team Call January 11, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf751a28abf838c801a3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Aspect Improvement Comparison or Accountability
Clinical Research
Aim:
Improvement of care Comparison, choice, reassurance, spur for
change
New knowledge
Methods: Test
observability Test observable No test, evaluate
current performance Test blinded
Bias
Accept consistent bias Measure and adjust to reduce bias
Design to eliminate bias
Sample size
“Just enough” data, small sequential samples
Obtain 100% of available, relevant, data
“Just in case” data
Flexibility of hypothesis
Hypothesis flexible, changes as learning
takes place
No hypothesis Fixed hypothesis
Testing strategy
Sequential tests No tests One large test
Determining if change is
improvement
Run charts or Shewhart charts
No change focus Hypothesis tests (T-tests, F-tests, Chi-square), p-value
Confidentiality
of data
Data used only by those involved in the improvement
Data available for public consumption
Research subjects’ identities protected

What Do We Need to Know? How much variation do we have? Is this process changing significantly over time? Have our changes resulted in improvement? Are we holding the
improvement?

Run Chart
• A line graph of data plotted over time• Data is kept in time order• Can see flow of data• Helps answer our improvement questions

Key Point #1
• Annotate your run chart – it tells your story• Annotation helps you see the impact of your
test of change and can help you decide to “adopt, adapt or abandon” a change.

MEDIAN
In a series of numbers, the median is physically the middle number .
It has the same number of points equal to it or above it as it has equal to it or below it.
![Page 16: What is Your Data Telling You? Clara Ballantine, SIA Ontario Falls VLC Team Call January 11, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf751a28abf838c801a3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Finding the Median: Reordering the Data504844424039393838383635353532323229272623232221
• To find the median reorder the numbers from high to low and find the number physically in the middle. If you have two numbers left in the middle, add them together and divide by two.
• Excel: place cursor in blank cell and type=MEDIAN(A2:A21) where A2 is the first cell you want to include and A21 the last)

• Analyze your data “by the rules”

Rule 3• To Determine The Number of Runs Above and Below the Median:
– A run is a series of points in a row on one side of the median. Some points fall right on the median, which makes it hard to decide which run these points belong to.
– So, an easy way to determine the number of runs is to count the number of times the data line crosses the median and add one.
– Statistically significant change signaled by too few or too many runs.

RULE 4For detecting unusually large or small numbers:
• Data that is Blatantly Obvious as a different value• Everyone studying the chart agrees that it is unusual• Remember:
– Every data set will have a high and a low - this does not mean the high or low are astronomical

Engage Senior Leaders With Data and Evidence
The "whiskers" depict the 95th% CI of the National Mean. Your mean is statisically higher if
it is above the "whiskers"; it is the same as the National Mean if it is within the "whiskers"; and it is statistically lower if it is below the "whiskers".
