Evaluation Report: The Readiness Call Ran on Four Days of Five, and a Four-Week Weekly Measure Could Not Have Confirmed a Change of the Size It Produced
Finding
The afternoon readiness call ran for 93% of Tuesday to Friday first cases and fewer than half of Monday cases in rooms 3 to 6, and the on-time share rose from 58% to 70% against an aim of 75%, a change in the right place and of a plausible size that a four-week weekly measure was too small to confirm.
Was the Change Actually Done?
Delivery figures for all four pilot weeks:
| Measure | Result | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Checks done, Tuesday to Friday cases | 55 of 58 (95%) | Paper log, then worklist field |
| Checks done, Monday cases | 7 of 16 (44%) | Same |
| Checks done, all | 62 of 74 (84%) | Same |
| Patients with an open item | 19 of 62 checked | Paper log |
| Open items resolved by 07:00 | 15 of 19 | Paper log, incomplete from week two |
| Calls returned by 16:30 | 17 of 24 | Student tally |
| Morning read in holding | 19 of 20 days | Initials on list |
The answer is yes for four days of the week and mostly no for Mondays. The Monday gap came from a Friday shift that ends at 15:00, not from any person declining the work.
Could the Measure Have Seen It?
The question matters as much as the result. The four rooms have about 18 eligible first cases a week. At that size, the weekly on-time share swings by around ten points from chance alone. If the readiness call prevented every readiness-coded late start, the rate would rise by at most 15 points; a realistic effect, since some readiness problems cannot be fixed the day before, is closer to 8 to 10 points. A weekly chart of four points cannot separate a change of that size from noise, and the usual run chart rule for a shift needs six or more weeks in a row sitting above, or below, the median (Perla et al., 2011).
Pooled over the four weeks, 52 of 74 is 70%, with a plausible range of roughly 60% to 80%. That range only just clears the baseline of 58%. A sharper signal comes from the readiness code itself, which fell from 15 to 5 per 100 first cases, and from the split by day, which matched the prediction made before the results were seen.
So the answer is: the chosen weekly measure, as compiled, could not have registered the change in four weeks; the pooled figure and the day split could just about see it. That is a genuine finding, and the report states it without apology. The pilot was sized by the calendar, not by the number of cases the measure needed.
The Numbers, Briefly
On time 271 of 468 at baseline, 52 of 74 in the pilot. Tuesday to Friday 59% to 74%; Monday 52% to 56%. Readiness-coded late starts 71 to 4. Comparison rooms 63% to 64%. Same-day cancellations 9 in 26 weeks and 1 in four. Day-before reschedules 3, with no baseline.
Three Options, Priced
Keep as it is: four rooms, about ten pre-admission testing hours a week, Monday cases still mostly unchecked. Cost unchanged; the Monday gap remains and the measure stays too small to show anything new.
Alter in one named way: move the Friday check to 12:30 to 14:30 from the January rota and continue in the same four rooms for eight more weeks, to 5 March 2027. Cost: the same ten hours plus about one hour on Fridays; no new rooms. Benefit: Monday cases covered for the first time and twelve weekly points in all, enough for the run chart rules to be applied before the March committee.
Stop: return the ten hours to chart preparation. Cost: the readiness gains, if they are real, would likely fade within a few months; the 2024 reminder-email attempt shows what happens when nobody owns readiness.
Recommendation
Alter. The process ran where it could, the outcome moved where the process ran and the gap has a specific, cheap fix. Eight more weeks in the same rooms will show whether the change holds before anyone spends hours on more rooms. Gains elsewhere have faded after a peak (Phieffer et al., 2017), and the extension is the way to find out whether that happens here.
When Stopping Would Be Right
If, by the end of the extension, the Monday figure has not risen after Friday checks begin, or the readiness code has returned toward baseline, stopping would be the right recommendation, and the report would say so. A pilot that cannot show benefit after twelve points and full coverage is not worth ten nurse hours a week.
What the Receiving Posts Will Need
If the director chooses to alter and continue, three things must be in place by 8 January: the Friday time in the pre-admission testing rota, the second worklist column for resolved items and a named post to keep the weekly chart until March. The handover briefing will set these out. If the director chooses to stop, the worklist columns can be hidden rather than removed, so that a later attempt does not have to wait for the analyst again.
What Was Learned That Applies Beyond This Pilot
A pilot should be sized by the number of cases the measure needs, not by the calendar, and that number should be worked out before the aim is agreed, not after the results come in. For a unit with about 18 cases a week, that means at least ten to twelve weeks. System requests should go in six weeks before day one. And any step that falls on a different shift or day should be tested on that day before the start, since the Monday gap would have shown up in a single Friday dry run without extra staff.
Limits
One hospital; four rooms; four weeks; an upgrade in week one; attention effects that cannot be separated; a single delay code per case; and anesthesia times that would lower the result by two cases. The comparison with eight unchanged rooms is the strongest protection against a seasonal explanation, and it is not complete protection.
How the Evaluation Was Framed
The report separates implementation outcomes, such as reach and fidelity, from the outcome the project aimed at, following the distinction in implementation research (Proctor et al., 2011).

What the NR 632 Week 7 assignment asks for
Put the finding in the first sentence, before any background. Then answer two questions in separate sections. First, was the change actually done? Use delivery figures, not intentions. Second, could your measure have registered a change of the size your project could plausibly produce, given how often it is compiled and how many cases it covers? If the answer is no, that is a real finding; say it plainly. Keep the outcome numbers short, since they were reported earlier. Give three options, keeping it, altering it in a named way and stopping, each with its cost. Make a recommendation, and say when stopping would be the right choice. Add the lessons that would apply to the next pilot in your area.
Inside the NR 632 Week 7 example
The sample's first sentence reports checks run for 93% of Tuesday to Friday cases and under half of Monday cases, and the on-time share rising from 58% to 70% against a 75% aim. The delivery table covers all four weeks. The measure section works out that weekly figures of about 18 cases swing ten points by chance, that a realistic effect is eight to ten points and that four points cannot meet the run chart shift rule. Three options are priced in nurse hours. The recommendation is to move Friday checks and continue for eight weeks to March. The report states that stopping would be right if Monday figures do not rise.
Where the points sit in the NR 632 Week 7 rubric
Evaluation reports lose most when the finding is buried after pages of background, so the reader has to search for the result. Next is a report that never asks whether the change was actually delivered, which leaves outcome figures without context. Very few reports ask whether the measure could have detected the expected change, though that question often explains a weak result. Recommendations offered as a single option, usually to continue, look like advocacy. Reports that cannot bring themselves to recommend stopping, even when the evidence is thin, lose credibility. Repeating every number from earlier weeks makes the report long without making it stronger. Reports also lose ground when the options are not priced, since a leader cannot weigh keeping against stopping without a cost for each.
NR 632 Week 7 help from the desk
Writing an evaluation that leads with its finding, and asks whether the measure could ever have shown the change, is hard after weeks of close work on a project. We can help you draft the opening sentence, work through the measure question with your case numbers and price three options in hours. We can also help you state when stopping would be right. The judgment in the report remains yours. Many students find the measure question easier once the weekly case count and the size of a realistic effect are written side by side.

NR 632 Week 7 questions, answered
How do I show the measure was not sensitive enough?
By arithmetic anybody can follow. State how many occasions fell inside the observed period, then what one additional event would do to the figure. Where a single case shifts the number by several points, or where the smallest change the source can express is larger than anything the project could produce, that is your answer, and it is a legitimate result rather than an excuse.
How much of the earlier project work should the report restate?
A paragraph, and it exists only so a reader knows what was put in place. The problem statement, the case for acting and the agreement to run it were all completed before this course and restating them eats the space the analysis needs. Where a section requires background, one page is generous, and everything past that is being taken from the sensitivity argument.
Is a negative result really acceptable at this level?
It is often the better paper, and this course is one of the places that is genuinely true. Organizations spend money on changes that do not work and rarely find out, so a graduate who can establish that one did not, and say what the next attempt should differ in, has produced something useful. What is marked down is a negative result reported without a diagnosis.
Where can I find a free NR 632 Week 7 sample paper?
The finished evaluation report on the first-case readiness pilot, with its three priced options, is available here in full.
Why does the NR 632 Week 7 report ask whether the measure could see the change?
About 18 cases a week swing by ten points from chance, so a four-week weekly chart could not confirm a change of the size the pilot could produce.
