I just made the scatterplots bigger (so hopefully a bit easier to read) in my blog post about AMU bed occupancy length of stay. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

@mancunianmedic.bsky.social A new patient flow metric: AMU length of stay so far. Do you think it'll catch on?

Maybe we should start measuring the average AMU length of stay so far if we want to understand exit block in full-to-the-brim general hospitals: neilpettinger.substack.com/p/never-mind...

Nice example of a narrative that draws attention to the least noteworthy feature of the chart.

One reason why NHS managers struggle to improve flow through beds is that they have a 'here-and-now' view of how bed occupancy 'works'. They see beds as things to be filled when they fall empty; they are less interested in the 'there-and-then' dynamics that caused them to be full in the first place.

I taught my Visualizing Statistics course to the NHS Lanarkshire data analysts today. I always enjoy drawing graphs like this to show how standard error and 95% confidence intervals 'work their magic'...

This looks fantastic. A step-by-step guide to choropleth map + histogram legend with {ggplot2} and {patchwork}.

I maybe should've said that my hunch is that the hospital ward map is close to most people's mental model of (some of) the causes and consequences of poor patient flow. And that a map like this should be where we start when we want to describe and understand it.

This specialty is supposed to fit into three wards. But it's overflowing into seven other wards. (My hunch is that a ward map like this is close to most people's mental model of patient flow. They're left cold by the bar/column/line/scatter charts that we data analysts usually bombard them with.)

“Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect for him as the leader of a nation that we respect greatly … is living in this disinformation bubble,” Zelenskyy says. That's a good phrase to use next time NHS leaders blame 12-hour trolley waits on "rising demand"! @policyskeptic.bsky.social

This video is wonderful. Great music by Hannah Featherstone and haunting #rstats visuals by @cararthompson.bsky.social.

It's pretty wild what you can do with geom_text(), transparency, and some careful rescaling of superimposed images at different rates. Here's an extract from a video I'll post more about tomorrow. One of the most challenging projects I've had the privilege of working on.
