Book Synopsis Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes by : Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ
Download or read book Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes written by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

Book Synopsis Light-weight Experience Collection in Distributed Software Engineering by : Anna Averbakh
Download or read book Light-weight Experience Collection in Distributed Software Engineering written by Anna Averbakh and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2015 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, distributed software development has become more common. In a distributed project setting, managing experience is even more crucial than in a co-located project. Problems like ineffective communication, lack of awareness and trust and restrictive information flow policies impede experience exchange and raise the overall effort for software engineers to collaborate. Moreover, sharing experiences is usually not part of the development process and considered additional effort. This often leads to failure of the experience management initiative due to a lack of participation. This thesis proposes a framework for qualitative and quantitative assessment of light-weight experience collection. Light-weight methods primarily aim at lowering the perceived effort and return a reasonable benefit to the experience bearers. This thesis proposes characterizing criteria of light-weight experience collection and a measurement system to measure gradations of expected effort and benefit of an experience collection method. To support knowledge managers in choosing the appropriate collection method, this thesis provides a catalogue of strategies from different categories and areas of application in distributed development projects.
Book Synopsis Quality Experience Telemetry by : Alka Jarvis
Download or read book Quality Experience Telemetry written by Alka Jarvis and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important and timely book. Students of organizational behavior for the last 15 years have been asking how to integrate the technology of data gathering and data analysis with critical organizational challenges. This book shows how to do that, using the field of customer service to illustrate the broader point. This volume allows lay readers to understand telemetry and helps them enhance their data-gathering activities to strengthen customer relations. Author of The Agenda Mover: When Your Good Idea Is Not Enough and Transforming the Clunky Organization: Pragmatic Skills for Breaking Inertia (Cornell University Press) Telemetry is an automated way of collecting data at remote sites or locations, and transmitting it to collectors at receiving site for monitoring, analyzing, and driving improvement actions. This book provides the necessary knowledge and information to understand the telemetry infrastructure and associated details. It will enable readers to implement a telemetry program to address customer experience pain and improve customer experience. The authors of this book have all served in different roles and capacities in one of Silicon Valley's premier technology companies. These roles include software engineering, customer assurance, quality management, technology development, and implementation. Their paths intersected in the area of quality management, and they have witnessed first-hand how the latest technology/market transitions around Internet of Things (IoT), digitization, and telemetry are impacting the company they work, as well as the high-tech industry and global economy as a whole. The real-time nature of data and the advent of machine-learning algorithms have set the stage for a new era that the authors call adaptive customer experience. The premise of this concept is that real-time availability of customer experience data opens the door for real-time responses based on machine-learning algorithms. This creates an unprecedented opportunity to change the relationship between customers and the systems they depend on in their digital world. The proliferation of sensors and improvements in data science capabilities are creating an environment where the possibilities for telemetry are limitless. The book provides several examples of use cases and applications that help bring telemetry to life.

Book Synopsis Software Quality - ECSQ 2002 by : Jyrki Kontio
Download or read book Software Quality - ECSQ 2002 written by Jyrki Kontio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software professionals and companies live in a new world today. Increasingly complex systems need to be built faster and cheaper. While many of the est- lished approaches in software quality are still valid, the software quality c- munity is going through a paradigm shift that requires a re-assessment of our current method and tool portfolio, as well as creating new and more e?ective solutions. We have selected two themes for this conference to highlight this paradigm shift. Our ?rst theme, “production of attractive and reliable software at Internet speed” sums up the dilemma many software organisations face. In order to be competitive, software should contain advanced features and run reliably – yet it should be developed quickly and cost e?ectively for the right market window. Finding the right balance between these objectives is a critical question that will determine business success in the years to come. Our second theme, “production of software with a dynamic partnership n- work” highlights the current trend of using partnerships and subcontractors as integral players in the software development process. Partnerships sometimes need to be created quickly to respond to a market opportunity, yet the costs and speed of cooperation must be competitive. Di?erent companies have di?erent processes, quality tools and cultures, yet they should cooperate seamlessly for the best result.

Book Synopsis The influence of selected managerial quality and board composition variables on the performance of German cooperative banks – an analysis of age, gender, education and experience as well as board size and composition by : Hermann Josef Högel
Download or read book The influence of selected managerial quality and board composition variables on the performance of German cooperative banks – an analysis of age, gender, education and experience as well as board size and composition written by Hermann Josef Högel and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research investigates the impact of age, education, experience, gender, board size, and composition on the sustainability of German cooperative banks. These banks are vital for the German financial system and have significant regional importance. The research reveals that the age of executive board members and board size correlate with the bank’s long-term performance. Banks with older executive board members tend to perform less effectively over time. Additionally, employing more than the legally required two executive board members negatively affects the bank’s medium- and long-term performance. The study’s results contribute to various management theories and can aid supervisory boards in selecting new executive board members based on performance criteria. Die Forschungsarbeit untersucht, wie Alter, Ausbildung, Erfahrung, Geschlecht, sowie Zusammensetzung und Größe des Vorstandsgremiums das langfristige Überleben deutscher Genossenschaftsbanken beeinflussen, welche aufgrund sinkender Gewinnmargen vom „Aussterben“ bedroht sind. Diese Banken spielen eine bedeutende Rolle im deutschen Wirtschafts- und Finanzsystem. Neben der Abwicklung wichtiger Zahlungstransaktionen sind sie bedeutende Arbeitgeber. Darüberhinaus spielten sie während der Finanzkrise 2007/2008 eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Unterstützung des europäischen Bankensystems. Die agierenden Vorstände dieser Genossenschaftsbanken haben einen erheblichen Einfluss auf den Geschäftserfolg. Es wurden empirische Daten zu den soziodemographischen Faktoren der Vorstandsmitglieder, der Vorstandszusammensetzung, -größe und der Bruttogewinnmarge über 5 und 10 Jahre gesammelt und statistisch analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Alter der Vorstandsmitglieder, der Vorstandszusammensetzung und der Bruttogewinnmarge über die angegebenen Zeiträume. Diese Forschungsarbeit trägt zu verschiedenen Managementtheorien bei. Darüber hinaus bietet sie praktische Entscheidungskriterien für Aufsichtsräte bei der Auswahl neuer Vorstandsmitglieder.
