  <dc:title>Bayesian Surveillance Methods for Healthcare Performance
Monitoring</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BayesSurveillance version 0.0.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides Bayesian surveillance methods for prospective
    monitoring of healthcare performance, patient safety, and clinical
    quality indicators. The package implements beta-binomial monitoring
    for binary outcomes, gamma-Poisson monitoring for count outcomes,
    posterior predictive alert probabilities, Bayesian early-warning
    signal detection, risk-adjusted surveillance, simulation tools,
    decision-support methods, and graphical summaries. These methods
    support continuous performance monitoring and timely detection of
    adverse trends in healthcare systems. The methodology is motivated
    by established risk-adjusted monitoring, sequential surveillance,
    and healthcare quality-improvement frameworks
