2. Create an excel dashboard that displays the readmissions for the selected DRG codes.a. Create at least 3 types of graphs of the readmission data (i.e. pie graph, line graph, bar graph, etc.) in your dashboard.b. All four (4) DRGs are to be included in the graphical representations.
3. Construct a strategy map (refer to the Project RED Strategy Map file example) to reduce the readmission rates for each of the selected DRG codes.

Step 3: 

1. Complete a 1-2 page executive summary explaining your dashboard information and strategy map. Your summary should contain “hypothetical” examples and should be written as if you are conveying your findings to C-suite (CEO, CFO, COO, etc.) executives.
