Sorry, although I learned of these at university -and spent many hours *mastering* their use- I have never used them since.
A good paper exists at http://siri.uvm.edu/ppt/risk3/risknotes.pdf
Page 13 onwards discusses them.
Their limitations have to be a reliance on subjectiveness on the left hand side of the nomogram (as usual with most assessment methods) and the fact that they were developed by the US Military - so the scales of justification may be represented quite differently than a UK health care environment would set.
From memory, the nomograms were always preprinted - you can't just draw lines as you wish, there was some form of relationship between them all.
But the memory fades (it's been 10-11 years y'know).
Hope that helps a little.

I made a lot of use of this technique several years ago and it was very successful in hazardous industry, with my developed version becoming readily accepted by managers who could at last 'see' what we safety guys were getting at! My version was derived from Dr Hani Raafat's version used at Aston on the Diploma courses delivered in the '90s. I don't see any reason why it could not be developed for use in the health sector as it relates to probability of events and known risks that you can evaluate. Risk is the same no matter what sector you are in as the outcome demonstrates the likelihood of a person being harmed by whatever factor you care to evaluate the probability of. Of course, there is subjectivity involved but the thought process can lead to effective control measures that are in proportion to the risk. More importantly, it is a tool that managers can 'play' with to see outcomes if their perception is different from the safety pro's.
Enjoy it! George
