Purpose
The purpose of this document is to outline the steps for data entry and functions within the Learning Network Hub, for the Lung Cancer Screening improvement collaborative.
Setup
Once your user account has been created, you’ll receive an email from “ACR Learning Network”. It will contain a link to access the Learning Network Hub and a temporary password. Copy the temporary password, then click the link; enter your email address and paste the temporary password to login. Use the same email address where you received the email from ACR Learning Network.
Immediately, you’ll be asked to choose a new password – paste the temporary password and then create a new password (a minimum of 6 characters is required). You can always update this password once logged in by clicking the dropdown arrow underneath your name and choosing “change password”.
Navigating to Your Organizational Data
Once you’ve logged in, you’ll see the “Lung Cancer Screening” collaborative listed – click that link.
Then you’ll see your facility name listed – click the “view project” that is aligned with your organization’s name.
The following tabs will be available:
Facility Data P-Chart P-Chart Elements
Facility Data Tab
This is where you’ll enter your annual denominator data and your weekly LCS volume data. Annual denominator data is entered by clicking "edit" in the Setup section.
Weekly volume data, New Patients Served and Returning Patients Served, is entered by clicking “edit” for the given week within the Enter Weekly Counts section. Each week runs from Sunday through Saturday.
P-Chart Tab
Click the P-Chart tab to see a visualization of the Rate of Eligible Population Screening data you’ve entered. You can toggle between different denominator values by using the dropdown in the upper right-hand corner.
On this tab you will designate mean grouping dates and values, enter your SMART goal target, and add annotations to your control chart. Scroll down within the P-Chart tab to see these sections.
Mean Groupings
The baseline dates have been added for you; once you confirm a shift in your data (7 consecutive points above the baseline) then you can add a second mean and ultimately, a third mean. You do not need to enter any information into the second mean and third mean lines until the second half of the project.
SMART Goal Date and Value
The start date and end date for the Smart Goal have been prepopulated for you. Click “edit” to add a goal percentage.
Annotations
You’ll add an annotation for each intervention that you implement, so that you can visualize the interventions on your control chart and identify any subsequent changes in your data. Click “add” and then select the date the intervention was implemented, and a short explanation of what was implemented.
P-Chart Elements Tab
