Quality Control01:05

Quality Control

2.4K
Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

2.2K
Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

Quality of Water01:19

Quality of Water

559
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Sustainable Development

15.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Pulse amplitude and quality01:17

Pulse amplitude and quality

3.1K
Pulse amplitude is a crucial indicator of cardiac health because it provides valuable insights into the strength of left ventricular contractions and the overall uniformity of blood circulation within the vasculature. The strength of the pulse is directly related to the force with which the heart contracts and the volume of blood being pumped.
A weak or absent pulse may indicate reduced cardiac output or poor left ventricular contraction, which can be signs of cardiovascular dysfunction or...

Testing Water Quality01:14

Testing Water Quality

389
When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Quality Improvement Science

Background:

  • Numerous toolkits exist to improve health care quality, but standardized development guidance is lacking.
  • This gap hinders the effective dissemination and impact of valuable interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish evidence-based recommendations and suggestions for developing high-quality improvement toolkits.
  • To provide guidance on toolkit content, development methodologies, and evaluation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Convened a diverse panel of health care stakeholders (developers, purchasers, users, funders, disseminators).
  • Conducted a literature review of 44 publications and 27 existing toolkits.
  • Utilized a modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on recommendations and suggestions.

Main Results:

  • Developed 12 recommendations and 1 suggestion for toolkit content.
  • Established 9 suggestions for toolkit development methods.
  • Formulated 6 suggestions for toolkit evaluation methods.
  • Created a ready-to-use checklist for quality improvement toolkit development.

Conclusions:

  • The developed guidance addresses key aspects of content, development, and evaluation for quality improvement toolkits.
  • These recommendations aim to enhance the utility and effectiveness of toolkits in disseminating health care interventions.
  • The findings support advancing toolkits as a valuable method for improving the quality of care.
