Quality Improvement Podcast – Making Data Count
Podcast: Introducing Sam Riley
Sam Riley is the Deputy Director of Intensive Support in NHS England and NHS Improvement. Sam and her team are responsible for ‘Making Data Count’, a fantastic model of teaching and promoting the use of SPC charts to analyse and present information.
Our first interaction with Sam and Making Data Count was in the Lough Neagh Discovery Centre when they hosted a workshop for performance and quality improvement teams from across the region. The event was set up by Lynn Lappin and Lesley Leeman. We were struck by the simplicity and appeal of adopting such an easy to understand approach.
Sam kindly agreed to a virtual conversation with Eliot Banks during which they discuss, among other things:
- Overcoming common obstacles to analysing and presenting data
- The success of the Making Data Count approach
- Sam’s innovative Q Exchange application
- How you too can get involved in #PlottheDots
