Statistical Methods for Hospital Monitoring with R

By Michael Whitby, Anthony Morton, Geoffrey Playford, et al.

Hospitals are becoming more complex and monitoring is increasing both because staff want their data analyzed and because of increasing mandated surveillance. This book provides a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to statistical methods using R, with emphasis on the needs of scientists in hospital departments who are responsible for producing a growing number of reports and are frequently actively involved in improving safety, but who have fairly limited statistical expertise. Although some complex methods are employed, such as the Bayesian random-effects model, these are kept to a simple application.
