The quality improvement team is reviewing quarterly incident reports and evaluating the effect of Six
Sigma strategies on the quantity of medication errors over the past two years. The team hypothesizes a
continuous reduction in medical errors for each quarter.The sample consists of patient clinical and
demographic characteristics. Unfortunately, causation cannot be determined from the data
available.Which research method should be used to test the team's hypothesis?
Time-Series

researcher is investigating the association of race on the timeliness of delivery of care. The sample
includes information on patient demographics, insurance information, and emergency department
factors. Due to patient confidentiality, the sample does not include patient clinical information and
outcomes.Which research method should be used?
