Research Highlights

CUSUM: A Dynamic Tool for Monitoring Competency in Cataract Surgery Performance – Br J Ophthalmol 2010;94:445-449. 

This publication is part of a master's program thesis on performance monitoring in cataract surgery, entitled “CUSUM: A Dynamic Tool for Monitoring Competency in Cataract Surgery Performance”. It has been incorporated as a web function in the NED since 2007. The system monitored and evaluated cataract surgeries based on surgical data input in real time from individual surgeons regardless of where the surgery was performed. The system has been used to assess candidates for exits in gazettement, National Specialist Register (NSR) certification and entry for ophthalmology subspecialty programs. The current work on CUSUM is to develop a risk-adjusted model to control the factors/risks influencing the outcome of surgery, hence producing a more robust analysis of the surgeons’ performance.
