Different Types of Measurement Research!! Judgement!! Improvement!!
Measures for Improvement? • View data over time • View different data sources side by side • Look for similarities and understand the reasons for differences; don’t be afraid of uncertainty
Plotting the dots….. Top Tips • Plot as you go; set up a spreadsheet to help you • The more the better; try to measure as often as possible • Print and scribble; annotate your charts to add context and additional qualitative information • Display your charts for all to see • Assess trends, not absolute numbers • Use run chart or SPC methods to help detect a change • Embrace your analytical resource……

Kate’s Top 5, Top Tips for Measurement 1. When it comes to data collection: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 2. Discuss as a team, and agree, your approach to recording and using data 3. Make data collection and analysis part of your daily routine 4. Triangulate different data sources to give a broader picture (consider a dashboard) 5.
