Meaningful Graphs is a concise and practical go-to guide for
creating charts in Excel (r) that clearly and accurately tell the
story in your data. It incorporates (a) explanations of the graph
design principles of the experts (Tufte, Few, Robbins, Zelazny, and
others), (b) the software steps necessary to incorporate these
principles into Excel (r) charts, and (c) chart-related discussions
of quality improvement (including Pareto charts), statistics
(including run charts and correlations), and the use of graphs in
PowerPoint (r) presentations (including chart animation). Also
included are numerous "Tips" and "In Practice" examples drawn from
over 35 years of working with data in healthcare settings. Coverage
begins with highlighting the importance of knowing the story in
your data and general principles of chart design (e.g., chartjunk,
the use of color, consideration of three dimensional charts) and
then proceeds to examine and create the five major chart types
(column, bar, line, pie, scatter). This is followed by
considerations of the pros and cons of each of the six less
frequently employed chart types. There are over 120 graphs in full
color plus tables and illustrations. Discussions of the most useful
chart types include examples with accompanying data to facilitate
practice. While illustrations are especially tailored for
healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, patient safety,
quality improvement staff, executives, and managers) both in their
work setting and in their academic preparation, the principles of
graph design and the Excel (r) techniques required to incorporate
these principles apply equally well in other settings. The latter
include other industries and academic programs, including those
leading to degrees in business administration (MBA), public health
(MPH), and public administration (MPA). If you follow the advice in
this book, the graphs you create for reports, presentations,
posters, or publications will be more informative and more easily
