It was concluded that when the objective was to find out changes in mean only then one sided control charts were more suitable. So in order to detect previously unidentified out of control points, one side multi and univariate charts were constructed. It was recommended that one sided control charts were valuable tools for monitoring healthcare and in this way contributing to medical decision making. | Multivariate chart | Body mass index, Pao2, PaCo2 | Longitudinal | |

| Alsadat et al. [54] | Reduced ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) rate for all mechanically ventilated patients.

Only hospital 3 had achieved a target of 95%. The suggested multidimensional strategy from top management is needed in order to prevent VAP rate which included interventions for infection control, process monitoring and outcome surveillance. | Run Chart | VAP rate | Longitudinal | |
