Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a technique that enables the quality controller
to monitor, analyze, predict, control, and improve a production process
through control charts. So to use of SPC in medical field is very important.
The cases were obtained at the Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of medicine
departments of surgical sciences within two year were evaluated. The outcomes
of the operations in these departments were followed throughout twenty-four
months. For a surgical procedure has two possible outcomes; a nonconforming
product (the patient dies) or a conforming one (the patient survives), the
both the death and the alive were accepted as attribute data. The four type of
attribute charts were applied to this data. These were p-chart, np-chart, c-chart
and u-chart. If the statistical process was an “in-control” or not was tried to
determine by the attribute charts. As a result of the statistical processes of these
departments were evaluated, this provided easily be viewed the pattern of process.
The aim of this research is to use the attribute control charts in medical
field (especially hospital performance evaluation) and to show availability of
the attribute control charts in medical field.
