Case Study: Quality Analysis

The ambulatory health service at a university is experiencing an increased number of student complaints concerning the services it offers in its walk-in urgent care clinic.

Using the data in Table 14-5 on page 296 of the textbook, select a complaint for analysis.

Your analysis must include a fish-bone chart, other appropriate charts (run and / or control), and any other techniques you deem necessary to analyze the data appropriately.
