TOPIC: Medication Errror
Select a tool to visually display your data or select a diagram that visually identifies the root cause of a problem and generates possible solutions. Your choice will depend on the topic of your project; select a tool or a diagram, not both.
Your project should either (1) include a quality improvement visual tool, such as a cause-and-effect (or “fishbone”) diagram or a process flowchart, or (2) display how the data will be visually represented, such as in a histogram or a scatter diagram. The following provides some information and documents that provide detailed instructions for each tool:
Cause-and-effect/fishbone diagram (Word)Links to an external site.: This organizational tool helps display and then explore causes contributing to certain effects or outcomes. It graphically displays the relationship of the causes to the effects, as well as to each other, which then helps identify areas for improvement.
Flowchart (Word)Links to an external site.: A flowchart represents the steps in a process. It also identifies points in the process where decisions need to be made. Understanding the process helps identify problems, focus discussions, and identify resources.
Histogram (Word)Links to an external site.: A histogram can display the variation in continuous data such as time, weight, size, or temperature. It can help with recognizing and analyzing data that are not apparent when looking at a table of data and with calculating the average or median.
Scatter diagram (Word)Links to an external site.: This graph represents the relationship between two variables. Scatter diagrams can help identify cause-and-effect relationships. If two variables are related, the data points will fall along a diagonal line or curve in a positive or negative correlation.
After you have identified which you want to use for your project, because you have no data, create either a fishbone diagram or a flowchart for your QI project.
