The promotion of standards and guidelines to advance quality
assurance and control is an integral part of the health care
sector. Quantitative methods are needed to monitor, control and
improve the quality of medical processes.
Statistical Development of Quality in Medicine presents
the statistical concepts behind the application of industrial
quality control methods. Filled with numerous case studies and
worked examples, the text enables the reader to choose the relevant
control chart, to critically apply it, improve it if necessary, and
monitor its stability. Furthermore, the reader is provided with the
necessary background to critically assess the literature on the
application of control charts and risk adjustment and to apply the
findings.
* Contains a user-friendly introduction, setting out the
necessary statistical concepts used in the field.
* Uses numerous real-life case studies from the literature and
the authors' own research as the backbone of the text.
* Provides a supplementary website featuring problems and answers
drawn from the book, alongside examples in Statgraphics.
The accessible style of Statistical Development of in
Clinical Medicine invites a large readership. It is primarily
aimed at health care officials, and personnel responsible for
developing and controlling the quality of health care services.
However, it is also ideal for statisticians working with health
care problems, diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies, and
graduate students of quality control.
