Data are used in healthcare quality improvement endeavors to measure and determine whether the changes made in the course of the work have made the desired impact. The methods used to analyze data in quality improvement differ slightly from those used in classical statistics. Run charts and statistical process control charts are the most common types of graphical representations used to visualize data collected for quality improvement. This review provides a basic introduction to measurement in quality improvement and explains the use of run charts and statistical process control charts with real-life examples.
数据在医疗保健质量改进工作中被用于衡量和确定工作过程中的变化是否产生了预期的影响。用于分析质量改进数据的方法与经典统计学略有不同。运行图和统计过程控制图是最常用于可视化质量改进中收集的数据的常见图形表示类型。本综述提供了质量改进中测量的基本介绍，并通过实际示例解释了运行图和统计过程控制图的使用。
