RSNA 2010: Quality Improvement? - MRI Wait Time
This past Sunday I had the opportunity to spend the day at the RSNA 2010 trade show event at McCormick Place in downtown Chicago. Following my attendance at RSNA 2009, I posted some observations that I made about a p-chart (a type of statistical quality control chart) on display at one of the research exhibits, and what I would have recommended to the researchers as a consultant.
That particular p-chart in my professional opinion was unfortunately incorrectly constructed. While the following snapshot is more of a general run chart than a control chart, it seems clear from the comments made later in the associated exhibit (any indicator of specific project has been purposely excluded) that this chart was intended to provide input to a process improvement effort.
