Statistical process control is a methodology that can be used with minimal statistical training and that can be understood by a range of different types of health and education professionals
There are a variety of means to demonstrate change – the advantage of statistical process control is that it enables the detection of change in real time – while there is still time to do something about it – and it can be understood by non-experts
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.
