In the Measurement Masterclass we simplify what is often perceived to be a complicated area of improvement science by focusing on the most relevant measures for your test of change.
- Understand the concept of measurement for improvement
- Choose a good measurement tools for your improvement
- Detect and understand variation in practice
- Measure changes to see what difference has been made to patient care
You will explore the importance of having clear questions or theories or hypotheses that one wishes to explore with measurements. You will learn how to avoid getting sucked into simply fishing around in data until you find something you then have no idea what it means or how to interpret it.
Throughout this masterclass you will be rethinking your relationship with data and measurement to one that is genuinely focused on curiosity and learning to create improvement.
By the end of the Masterclass you will be able to:
- Understand the concept of measurement for improvement
- Choose a good measurement tools for your improvement
- Detect and understand variation in practice
- Measure changes to see what difference has been made to patient care
