		Bayesian Surveillance Methods for Healthcare Performance
		Monitoring // 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
