"Monitoring of Surgical Outcomes:
An Application of Cumulative Sum Procedures"
Vern T Farewell
MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge
Process monitoring has been extensively studied in the industrial
context and a widely used tool is the cumulative sum (CU SUM) chart. The
application of this methodology to the monitoring of binary surgical
outcomes will be discussed. Suggestions will be made for the extension
of this methodology to deal with bivariate outcome data and the need to
adjust for the case mix in the monitoring of individual surgeons. A
discussion of alternative monitoring procedures will be given.
All welcome!!
