Medication planning is an important issue for multimorbid patient. It can be measured by the Medication Appropriate Index (MAI). But how can it be visualised? Martin Brown presents the proposed visualisations in contrast to the regular tabulation of the results. Visualisations are available on the
Wonderful Wednesday blog.
An advantage of the visual display is the possibility to include individual patient data. This can be done in combination with a box-and-whisker plot. The dumbbell plot is showing individual changes and is giving a good impression on the distribution, especially with the right sorting applied. Depending on the message to be transported also scatter plots or a simple histogram can be useful. The next challenge is on exploring dirty data. See the Wonderful Wednesday homepage for more detail.
