What is SPC?
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a powerful, insights-based method for forward-thinking healthcare organisations to track and improve processes over time. Unlike traditional RAG charts, which offer a limited point-in-time view of performance, SPC charts provide continuous monitoring and clear differentiation between common and special cause variations to support better, more informed decision-making.
A nuanced method of data visualisation, SPC helps healthcare leaders make data-driven decisions that support more effective interventions and improved patient care.
Benefits of SPC
Despite significant advancements in technology and data science, many healthcare organisations rely on traditional summary statistics and RAG tools to support decision-making.
The shift towards ongoing Quality Improvement in healthcare necessitates a different approach to data presentation and analysis, and Statistical Process Control tools like BCN’s EasySPC can help leaders drive performance gains across functions.
Some of the benefits of SPC for healthcare organisations include:
Track performance over time to identify trends and patterns, determine where intervention is required, and plan next best steps
Use statistical methods to set control limits, thereby reducing subjective interpretation of data.
Tracking processes over time allows for deeper understanding of normal fluctuations, as well as spikes or dips that indicate a potential issue requiring attention.
