Lung Cancer Screening: Data Collection and Control Chart in the Learning Network Hub

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.

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.
