For this week’s discussion, respond to the following in your initial post:

• Provide a summary of what you have learned this week regarding research, statistical methods, and specific tools used in quality measurement and improvement (e.g., flowcharts, cause-and-effect diagrams, Pareto charts, and run charts).
• Provide two examples of how you have used these tools in healthcare organizations where you have worked. Which tools have you found most helpful? Why?

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer. These scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search.

You need to reply to at least two of your peers’ answer posts to this discussion question. These replies need to be substantive and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze the answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies, but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
