ISQua's Learning about Improvement Community of Practice wasvdelighted to host Helen Crisp for her virtual session on 'Learning from Measurements in Improvement' on 27th March 2020.

 

At the in-person meeting in Cape Town, it was discussed that statistical significance, most notable p-values, cannot tell us everything. In this session, Helen explored the  measurement in improvement and what types of measurements and data can be used to help us learn about our improvements. She also went through the research on what different methods and tools can tell us about our improvement work.

 

Questions highlighted in the session:

· How do we learn about measurement?

· What do we measure?

· How do we measure? How do we analyze?

· How do we learn about PDSA’s through measurement?

· When to use Statistical Process Control Charts
