Fig. 2

Violin plots of antipsychotic dose load and number of words in the clinical notes per day using the three equalization methods. The medians of the distributions are represented by black dots. The width of each area represents a dose interval of, respectively, 0.5 DDD, 5 mg olanzapine equivalents, or 100 mg chlorpromazine equivalents. The same intervals were used to bin data from notes recorded by all staff categories (physicians, nursing staff, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, social workers, and secretaries), notes by physicians, and notes by nursing staff. The daily note length by all staff, physicians and nursing staff are plotted individually. Each value of the note length originates from zero and the values are not additive. Intervals containing less than 100 patients are not plotted
