SAS and SQC Programs

• First part - Run the SAS programs saved in S:\MED\MED_CCMED\Julie\SAS_CFE\CC_reports\ChartReport in the following order:
  • 1-prepCC_QI_startJan2023_WithIncompleteBedHeld.sas - prepares the data to be used in the report and exported to excel file
    • Make sure all the data are cleaned already by the Data Processor.
    • Update the period to current one as indicated in the program.
    • The exported excel file is saved in R:\Critical Care QIT\Director_Report\DataFile\WRHA_CriticalCare.xlsx
      • Check the new exported excel file for suspicious data and also compare the data with common period from the excel file of previous period.
  • 2-prepCCChart_demog_93_Sex_start1Oct2019.sas - generates the bar chart for Age Groups, Sex
  • 3-prepCCChart_ApacheDxGrp_94_startJan2020.sas - generates the bar chart for eight Diagnostic Categories from APACHE II Predicted Death Model in ICD10
  • 4-prepCCChart_ICD10PrimaryDx_ChapterName_startingJuly2019.sas - generates the table of ranked primary Diagnosis using ICD10 Chapter Name
• Second part - Open the SCQpack8 and the 216 charts for 26 indicators and 9 units (including Region and WRHA subgroups) are listed
  • All the charts are automatically updated when the excel file is updated. But need to check each chart for the following:
    • The need to change the Y-axis if there is any point(s) outside the Y-Axis or when the UCL or LCL are not showing in the chart.
    • Check on the X-axis if the last scale is the current period
    • Look for any change in the pattern and re-calculate the control limits
  • Once all charts are OK, select the charts and save them as .png image on R:\Critical Care QIT\Director_Report\Images
    • Select charts in small groups (not all charts at once) because the software cannot handle too large number. Just continue the process until all the needed charts are saved into images.
• Third part - Go to R:\Critical Care QIT\Director_Report\Report and review all the *.pptx files
  • All the inserted images in the PowerPoint files are automatically updated when the images from SQC are updated.
  • Browse all the slides in the PowerPoint are correct
  • Save the PowerPoint into pdf and save them on the folder labeled YYYYQQ where YYYY is year and QQ is the quarter.
  • Upload all the PDF to Critical Care Share Point.
