Improving iterative improvement
Proceedings of the 1971 26th annual conference on -, 1971This paper describes a scheme for iteratively improving the decomposition of a given matrix A into the product of two matrices B and C. Although B and C may be completely general matrices, the scheme is most practically applicable in the LU and QR decompositions of a matrix.

In the proposed model, dynamic inhibitory weights are used to speed up the convergence rate, and a new convergence rule is applied to find all maxima. The hardware implementation of the proposed model is presented in the study, and simulation results indicate that the proposed model converges much faster than the other networks.

Improving Prescribing, Improving Health
Healthcare QuarterlyPrescription drugs play an essential and growing role in Canada's healthcare system and the health of Canadians. But some drugs are not used correctly (misuse), used too frequently (overuse) or not used nearly enough (underuse), resulting in missed health benefits, harm to individual Canadians and unnecessary costs.

Improving Improvement for Childhood Asthma
JAMA, 2011THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES DElivers much good high-quality care but also causes unnecessary harm. This harm has many guises— some visible, such as hospital-acquired infections, and others more subtle, such as failure to prescribe indicated treatment or communicate effectively.

Improving Leadership Through Improv
Proceedings of the 2019 ACM SIGUCCS Annual Conference, 2019Improvisational theater may seem to be a distant concept from daily meetings, emails and routine tasks, but as we'll “learn through doing” in this session, many connections exist between the two. For example, what do you do when someone gives you a problem that needs an immediate solution?

Improving Care, Improving Performance, or Just Improving Numbers?
Psychiatric Services, 2008This Open Forum reviews the literature on computerized systems that purport to either assess or improve clinical care in mental health. There is little empirical support for these claims. These limitations are in keeping with the author's own experience in developing and using such systems.

Improving the Quality of Quality Improvement Projects
The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, 2010As the stakes grow for evaluating the quality of health care delivery, so too should greater attention be paid to the integrity of the design, conduct, and inferences made from QI projects. QI projects that seek to make inferences, especially public inferences, about the impact of an intervention to improve quality of care should be rigorously designed

Continuous improvement improved
Work Study, 1999There is no one performance improvement methodology or technique which is universally applicable. Analyses the various approaches to performance improvement that have been used over the last decade within manufacturing industry. Uses the lessons to identify the key components of an approach to continuous improvement that can be tailored to a particular
