Funnel Plots in QlikView

If I say "funnel plot" do you think of

This? OR this?



Well I am going to talk about the latter!

Although QlikView's funnel plots are great for looking some things, statistical funnel plots are a really great tool for comparing rates across different populations.

And I'm not the only one that thinks that. I swear funnel plots must have been taught as a module in medical school. GP's are always asking for them. Now that I am developing a dashboard for a hospital trust - guess what, the consultants love them too.....! I get asked to do them so frequently (not just in QlikView) so this is my first post.

Welcome

Hi there!


I work as a QlikView developer in the NHS, (UK National Health Service), designing dashboards for NHS organisations across Britain. Along the way, I've picked up a few tips which I'd like to share with you here on this blog.

This blog isn't just for QlikViewers working in health care organisations. It's for anyone that comes across similar problems and analyses that we do. So this could be things like working with very large, complex datasets or needing the bend the rules of what QlikView can do. And particularly being able to create statistical charts.

I hope to cover topics like incorporating SPC / 6 sigma charts, matching intervals to track patient journeys and anything else that I find interesting or have been involved in!

And please feel free to leave any comments, ideas or if you would like me to explain anything a bit more.


Erica :)
