| Coory et al. [56] | Monitored the quality of hospital care by using administrative data. CUSUM charts were utilized and no outliers were found on cross-sectional funnel plot, using three sigma limits for either of two years. It was concluded that control charts were valuable tools in the sense that these provide an early detection of good and bad result. So that hospital could trace out the areas which need more examining and monitoring. | CUSUM | Mortality rate | Retrospective study | Australia |
