Performance of Biometric Quality Measures
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2007We document methods for the quantitative evaluation of systems that produce a scalar summary of a biometric sample's quality. We are motivated by a need to test claims that quality measures are predictive of matching performance. We regard a quality measurement algorithm as a black box that converts an input sample to an output scalar.

Quality‐related Action Programs: Their Impact on Quality Performance and Firm Performance
Decision Sciences, 2000ABSTRACTFrom analyses of the direct effects of 10 quality action programs on six firm performance outcomes, as well as their indirect effects through eight quality performance dimensions, two routes from action programs through quality performance to firm performance in the automotive supply industry are identified.

Quality Measurement and Pay for Performance
Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2018Recent debate has focused on which quality measures are appropriate for surgical oncology and how they should be implemented and incentivized. Current quality measures focus primarily on process measures (use of adjuvant therapy, pathology reporting) and patient-centered outcomes (health-related quality of life).

Pay-for-Performance = Pay for Quality?
HealthcarePapers, 2006While we agree with most of what the authors report in this brief paper, we note that the process is already under way in Canada, challenge a few of the paper's assumptions and provide a few suggestions for and cautions in undertaking next steps. At the same time, we highlight the significant potential pay-for-performance may have in being part of the ...

An instrument for quality performance measurement
International Journal of Production Economics, 1995Abstract An instrument for evaluating the quality performance measurement level and the quality performance results is presented. The instrument is based on the classification of quality in categories and classes; for each of them, the objects of the evaluation, the methodologies, techniques and indicators most useful and used for the quality ...

Quality Impact on Software Performance
2013 III Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering, 2013Nowadays, market needs pose novel challenges to computer science requiring increasingly computational capacity to deal with more and more complex applications. Embedded systems represent a large slice of these new complex systems. This scenario promoted the employment of advanced hardware platforms on embedded systems.

Multitasking, Quality and Pay for Performance [PDF]
, 2008 We present a model of optimal contracting between a purchaser and a provider of health services when quality has two dimensions. We assume that one dimension of quality is verifiable (dimension 1) and one dimension is not verifiable (dimension 2). We show that the power of the incentive scheme for the verifiable dimension depends critically on the ...

TIP's performance quality of service
IEEE Communications Magazine, 1995The author presents a transport performance quality of service (QoS) parameter set, which enables applications to describe their required performance properties and guarantees appropriately. The performance QoS is provided at the service interface of the Transport and Internetworking Package (TIP), which is an adaptive transport system based on an ...

The effects of design quality on quality performance
International Journal of Production Economics, 2005Abstract Theory construction and rigorous empirical testing is a relatively recent development in quality management. A key issue in theory development is the distinction between quality management practices and quality performance which to date has been blurred under the broad heading of quality.
