Disciplined Decision Making in an Interdisciplinary Environment: Some Implications for Clinical Applications of Statistical Process Control.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hantula, Donald A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
Clinical applications of statistical process control (SPC) in human service organizations are considered. SPC is seen as providing a standard set of criteria that serves as a common interface for data-based decision making, which may bring decision making under the control of established contingencies rather than the immediate contingencies of…

Applied Behavior Analysis and Statistical Process Control?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hopkins, B. L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
Incorporating statistical process control (SPC) methods into applied behavior analysis is discussed. It is claimed that SPC methods would likely reduce applied behavior analysts' intimate contacts with problems and would likely yield poor treatment and research decisions. Cases and data presented by Pfadt and Wheeler (1995) are cited as examples.…

Using Statistical Process Control to Make Data-Based Clinical Decisions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pfadt, Al; Wheeler, Donald J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1995
Statistical process control (SPC), which employs simple statistical tools and problem-solving techniques such as histograms, control charts, flow charts, and Pareto charts to implement continual product improvement procedures, can be incorporated into human service organizations. Examples illustrate use of SPC procedures to analyze behavioral data…
