Re: “The use of cusum analysis in the early detection and management of hospital bed occupancy crises”, the research article by Claire M Burns, Cameron J Bennett, Colin T Myers and Michael Ward, in the 19 September issue of the Journal (Med J Aust 2005; 183: 291-294).

The html and pdf versions were correct when published.
