Considers a background to quality and the reasons why total quality management programmes tend not to produce the results normally expected of them. This is essentially due to the impact on the organization and its goals of unconscious predispositions of individuals and groups to maintain the status quo and to “push back” from change and whether or not

Measuring the Quality of Trials
JAMA, 1999PHYSICIANS SEEKING THE BEST INFORMATION ABOUT PARticular interventions often turn to the results of metaanalyses. Meta-analyses, if done correctly according to explicit rules, will include all relevant studies that meet specified criteria, even those unpublished, to produce an unbiased estimate of the intervention’s worth.

Quality: A cylinder of quality
Manufacturing Engineer, 1993Nicola Shaw and Keith Ridgway describe how Pareto analysis and a combination of plant and laboratory based experiments were used to investigate quality problems during the manufacture of high pressure gas cylinders, developing a checklist for the use of the Taguchi method.

Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, 2005
Gaussian basis sets of quadruple zeta valence quality for Rb-Rn are presented, as well as bases of split valence and triple zeta valence quality for H-Rn. The latter were obtained by (partly) modifying bases developed previously. A large set of more than

Over the past decade, there have been substantial efforts to reduce the rate of medical errors and improve the overall quality of healthcare. Nonetheless, despite improvements in access to healthcare, higher utilization of healthcare services, and rising costs, there has been a limited association between quality metrics and consistent improvement in ...

Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1986The office laboratory's need for quality is no different from that of any other clinical laboratory. If patients are to receive the benefit of physician's office testing, reliable, high-quality laboratory results are essential. To achieve this, the physician's office laboratory must have an adequate quality assurance program.

A Fast and High Quality Multilevel Scheme for Partitioning Irregular Graphs
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 1998Recently, a number of researchers have investigated a class of graph partitioning algorithms that reduce the size of the graph by collapsing vertices and edges, partition the smaller graph, and then uncoarsen it to construct a partition for the original ...

Beyond Accuracy: What Data Quality Means to Data Consumers
Journal of Management Information Systems, 1996Poor data quality (DQ) can have substantial social and economic impacts. Although firms are improving data quality with practical approaches and tools, their improvement efforts tend to focus narrowly on accuracy.

Measuring Dyadic Adjustment: new scales for assessing the quality of marriage and similar dyads
, 1976This study reports on the development of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, a new measure for assessing the quality of marriage and other similar dyads. The 32-item scale is designed for use with either married or unmarried cohabiting couples.

Quality, Quality Control, and Quality Assurance
1990One of the strongest trends in modern society is the continuing evolution from a manufacturing to a service-oriented economy. The desirability of this may be arguable, but the fact remains that a smaller and smaller percentage of the work force is directly involved in manufacturing goods, and an increasingly larger percentage is concerned with ...
