Purpose:
The purpose of this paper is to develop a new approach to health service quality assurance.
Design/Methodology/Approach:
Data were collected using a structured, eight-section questionnaire. Stratified random samples were drawn from four villages based in four Indian regions.
Findings:
Psychological discomfort is an infant mortality rate (IMR) mediating factor. The root mean square error of approximation fit statistic for the model was 0.08, which was considered the best fit.
Practical Implications:
Addressing mediating causes can reduce IMR in developing countries.
Originality/Value:
The model that the authors described helps health institution managers to map quality assurance health management and economics.

03:08Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
