Monitoring surgical performance using risk-adjusted cumulative sum charts.
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) procedure is a graphical method that is widely used for quality monitoring in industrial settings. More recently it has been used to monitor surgical outcomes whereby it 'signals' if sufficient evidence has accumulated that there has been a change in the surgical failure rate. A limitation of the standard CUSUM procedure in this context is that since it is simply base...

متن کاملModeling Surgical Resident Performance
The goals of this work were to evaluate the methods used for assessing surgical residents and to model surgical resident performance. Currently, residents are evaluated by the attending surgeons using a one-page paper evaluation form after each rotation in a particular department. These subjective questionnaires require the evaluators to rate residents in competency areas that are thought to de...
متن کاملPhase I Risk-Adjusted Control Charts for Monitoring Surgical Performance by Considering Categorical Covariates
In recent years risk-adjusted control charts have been increasingly studied for monitoring surgical outcomes by accounting for patients’ health conditions prior to surgery. However, most existing research focuses on phase II monitoring, and very little work has been done on phase I control of surgical outcomes. In this paper, a general phase I risk-adjusted control chart is proposed for monitor...
متن کاملStatistical Performance Monitoring
Traditional performance monitoring methods have an overhead that is proportional in both space and time to the spill rate. They are not scalable in a distributed computing environment of hundreds or even thousands of managed nodes; the large quantity of data collected cannot be pushed or pulled efficiently across the network for displaying/reporting. In this paper we propose a few scalable alte...
