This review is from: How to Use Control Charts for Healthcare (Paperback)
For the last six years, I have been teaching Social Statistics to a wide variety of non-math majors (i.e., Nursing, Social Work, Sociology, Criminal Justice, Education, and Political Science). During the summer of 2002, I had an opportunity to teach a section of statistics exclusively to Nursing majors. Nurses are GREAT students. They seemed to have an intense interest in the application of statistics to nursing practice and evaluation. In addition, I learned that our local nurses are required to employ control charts to file a wide variety of reports to the hospital administration. In an effort to teach relevant material, I searched amazon.com for "Control Charts" and discovered Kelley's outstanding book.I can make a couple of points that may prove helpful to any reader of this review. First, Kelley is a wonderful writer. Making statistics fun, interesting, and relevant is a Herculean task. Kelley accomplishes this objective. Second, anyone who can get a C as a final grade in an introduction to statistics course will be able to understand and use control charts after reading Kelley's book. She offers GREAT examples and gives self-grading quizzes to facilitate the learning process. Every nurse with whom I shared this book, seemed to appreciate it. Several of them actually purchased it. Thus, if you need information about control charts in a health care setting, Kelley is the best (and perhaps only) book on the market.

This review is from: How to Use Control Charts for Healthcare (Paperback)
If you want to know how to create control charts as they relate to JCAHO and general health care, buy this one!!I found the book to be very easy, straightforward, and exactly what I needed. I was totally unfamiliar with control charts, how to set them up, and what they did. This book presents simple examples and is easy to understand. A great buy!
