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 ...

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 ...

Quality manager involvement and quality performance
International Journal of Operations & Production Management, 1997As the importance of quality managers has dramatically increased in the past two decades, it has been suggested that management of the quality function requires expertise in areas other than the quality field itself. Nevertheless, to date, extensive research has not been directed towards identifying the expertise required of a quality manager or the ...

Quantity and quality of musical practice as predictors of performance quality
British Journal of Psychology, 2000Twenty‐two pianists, classified into four levels of skill, were asked to learn and memorize an assigned composition by J. S. Bach (different for each level). All practice was recorded on cassette tape. At the end of the learning process, the pianists performed their composition in a recital setting.

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 ...

A PATH ANALYTIC MODEL OF QUALITY PRACTICES, QUALITY PERFORMANCE, AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Production and Operations Management, 2001Much of the early literature in the area of quality management literature is anecdotal, prescriptive, and methodologically suspect. As such, theory construction and rigorous empirical testing is a relatively recent development with the emphasis very much on quality practices.

Quality Performance in the Physician's Office
Medical Clinics of North America, 1987Because neither the physicians nor their office staffs are trained laboratorians, the reliability of test results from physician's office testing is of major concern. In this article, potential errors in laboratory testing are discussed, and a comprehensive quality-assurance program is presented.
