Description

Leslie Gardner and eleven co-authors rebuild a hospital quality dashboard into a recruitment watchdog for a multi-site delirium recovery study. Trials routinely stall on slow enrollment and dropout, and investigators often learn of trouble late. The rebuilt tool borrows control charts, which flag when a process drifts out of its normal range.

Built in Excel for accessibility and linked to the study's REDCap database, the dashboard shows how many participants completed each recruitment stage, weekly and cumulative, with completion rates and trends. Stakeholders get timely, unbiased numbers they can act on rather than anecdote. The authors report the tool significantly aided decision-making through the recruitment process. It is a methods paper about running trials with live instrumentation.
