Statistical Process Control Charts for Public Health Monitoring

Abstract

Statistical process control charts have recently been used for public health monitoring, predominantly in healthcare and hospital applications such as the surveillance of patient wait times or the frequency of surgical failures [e.g., 1-10]. Because the frequency of safety incidents like industrial accidents and motor vehicle crashes will follow a similar probability distribution, the use of control charts for their surveillance has also been recommended [11-15]. These control chart uses can be extended to military applications, such as monitoring active duty Army injuries.
