Storyboards can be placed in high-traffic areas as a means of sharing the performance improvement progress with others. Clinical value compasses, dashboards, and balanced scorecards are measurement tools utilized in performance improvement, but are not necessarily used alone as a means of communicating the progress of a performance improvement initiative.
