Summary
Medical education is associated with significant costs[1]. These costs have led to a growing interest in how to deliver high quality or high quantity education on a limited budget. Statistical process control is a discipline within statistics that enables analysis of data over time and graphical representation of that data[4]. These changes might be due to inherent variation or to defects in the technique of measurement or to deliberate attempts to improve the data or accidental disimprovements in the data.
