Crude versus case-mix-adjusted control charts for safety monitoring in thyroid surgery.
INTRODUCTION Patient-safety monitoring based on health-outcome indicators can lead to misinterpretation of changes in case mix. This study aimed to compare the detection of indicator variations between crude and case-mix-adjusted control charts using data from thyroid surgeries. METHODS The study population included each patient who underwent thyroid surgery in a teaching hospital from Januar...
متن کاملPatient- and surgeon-adjusted control charts for monitoring performance
OBJECTIVES To determine whether an innovative graphical tool for accurate measurement of individual surgeon performance metrics, adjusted for both surgeon-specific and patient-specific factors, significantly alters interpretation of performance data. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of all total knee replacements (TKRs) conducted at the host institution between 1996 and 2009. The database was ra...
متن کاملRisk-Adjusted Control Charts for Health Care Monitoring
Attribute data from high quality processes can be monitored effectively by deciding on whether or not to stop at each time where r ≥ 1 failures have occurred. The smaller the degree of change in failure rate during Out-of-Control one wants to be optimally protected against, the larger r should be. Under homogeneity, the distribution involved is negative binomial. However, in health care monitor...
متن کاملCase-mix and the use of control charts in monitoring mortality rates after coronary artery bypass
BACKGROUND There is debate about the role of crude mortality rates and case-mix adjusted mortality rates in monitoring the outcomes of treatment. In the context of quality improvement a key purpose of monitoring is to identify special cause variation as this type of variation should be investigated to identify possible causes. This paper investigates agreement between the identification of spec...
متن کاملRisk-adjusted control charts based on LR-fuzzy data
Control charts are widely used in industrial processes as well as in health sciences and particularly for monitoring the performance of cardiac surgeon or a group of surgeons based on the preoperative risk of patients. Since the preoperative risk is a vague and nonprecise variable and the anesthesiologists after checking how many risk factors a patient has, determine the risk of mortality befor...
