The Use of Statistical Process Control Charts to Evaluate Interprofessional Education Sessions Embedded Into a Pediatric Emergency In situ Resuscitation Program

Simul Healthc. 2019 Apr;14(2):121-128. doi: 10.1097/SIH.0000000000000336.

Abstract

The rigorous evaluation of simulation in healthcare to improve resuscitations and team functioning can be challenging. Statistical process control (SPC) charts present a unique methodology to enable statistical rigor when evaluating simulation. This article presents a brief overview of SPC charts and its advantages over traditional before and after methodologies, followed by an exemplar using SPC to evaluate an in situ team training program with embedded interprofessional education sessions.
