When Graphs Don't Work

Surgical staff are highly intelligent but may not intuitively understand numbers and graphs. So what do you do if you find the reports you’ve been producing aren’t actually understood by their intended audience? In this episode of ‘Safeguarding Healthcare – the Essentials of Clinical Governance’, host Dr David Rankin is joined by medical administration veteran Dr Craig Margetts, to study the intricacies of data interpretation, clinician engagement, and the delicate balance between individual and group reporting. Dr Margetts provides insights into effective communication strategies and the practical approaches to jumping tricky hurdles.
