Lesson 3: Interpretation of Funnel Plots

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Jeff Anderson discusses the significance of funnel plots, a type of control chart, in identifying variation within systems. Using a baseball analogy, he explains how funnel plots can help discern between high and low performers by assessing performance relative to the number of opportunities (N). The video transitions to using funnel plots to evaluate data from QNET, where Jeff highlights how these charts reveal which centers are performing statistically better or worse within systems concerning genetic testing and BMI measurement. Emphasizing collaboration, he advocates for learning from high-performing centers to improve overall system performance.
