Scientific Approach to Assess if Change Led to Improvement —Methods for Statistical Process Control Analysis in Quality Improvement
Quality improvement is an expectation in most hospitals and emergency departments throughout the United States. With hospitals requiring reporting on key metrics such as readmission rates, time to thrombolytic administration in stroke, or time to cardiac catheterization laboratory activation for ST-elevation myocardial infarctions, many emergency departments deploy quality improvement teams to monitor and improve these metrics and others to promote quality and safety. Emergency nurses and managers are key members and leaders of these quality improvement teams.
