Performance Review Using Sequential Sampling and a Practice Computer
326 Wells Road, Knowle, Bristol BS4 2QJ, England
The use of sequential sample analysis for repeated performance review is described with examples from several areas of practice. The value of a practice computer in providing a random sample from a complete population, evaluating the parameters of a sequential procedure, and producing a structured worksheet is discussed. It is suggested that sequential analysis has advantages over conventional sampling in the area of performance review in general practice.
