CREATE A CONTROL CHART
Creating a control chart, like the one below, that displays your data graphically will help you analyze trends over time and facilitate improvement efforts.
Sample Control Chart
As illustrated in the above example, the mean percentage of residents who were found wet on the most recent 36 control checks was 15%. Bars represent the percentage of residents who were found wet on each control check. On three occasions (checks number 12, 29, and 36), the percentage of residents who were wet exceeded the warning limit. This is a red flag to staff that corrective action may be needed.
Further analyses of control check results should help you pinpoint the problem. Consider, for example, whether out-of-control results indicate a change in a resident's status, a breakdown in care during shift changes, or a staffing problem on a particular hallway. All these are common occurrences that can skew program results.
