Walden DDHA 8900: Create Variable Control Charts

Permalink: https://nursingpapermills.com/walden-ddha-8900…e-control-charts/

Control charts assist health care administration leaders in determining which processes in their health services organization are in control. As a tool, creating variable control charts such as the Xbar and R charts are useful since they help to present the data in meaningful ways, which allows health care administration leaders to make quick decisions regarding those processes not in control.

For this Assignment, review the resources for this week that are specific to variable control charts. Focus on mimicking the development of the Xbar and R charts in the chapter rather than the Xbar and S charts or I-MR charts.

The Assignment: (3–4 pages)

Using SPSS and Microsoft Word, complete problems 1 through 5 on pages 263–264 in the Ross textbook. Show all work. Submit both your SPSS and Word files for grading.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
