A Check Sheet is a grid that allows CQI teams to determine how often an event occurs as an effort to assist with prioritizing needed action steps by revealing which events or problems occur with greatest frequency. The compiled raw data generated on a Check Sheet is often used to create a Pareto Chart (and others such as a histogram run charts etc.). On the other hand a Pareto Chart is a form of bar graph that displays categories of data in descending order of frequency or significance in order to prioritize options or to demonstrate that addressing a single key aspect or defect of a larger system pr process will have tremendous impact on that overall system or process.
