Abstract Background A new organisation at the primary level, called model practices, introduces a 0.5 full-time equivalent nurse practitioner as a regular member of the team. Nurse practitioners are in charge of registers of chronic patients, and implement an active approach into medical care. Selected quality indicators define the quality of management. The majority of studies confirm the effectiveness of the extended team in the quality of care, which is similar or improved when compared to care performed by the physician alone. The aim of the study is to compare the quality of management of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 before and after the introduction of model practices. Methods A cohort retrospective study was based on medical records from three practices. Process quality indicators, such as regularity of HbA1c measurement, blood pressure measurement, foot exam, referral to eye exam, performance of yearly laboratory tests and HbA1c level before and after the introduction of model practices were compared. Results The final sample consisted of 132 patients, whose diabetes care was exclusively performed at the primary care level. The process of care has significantly improved after the delivery of model practices. The most outstanding is the increase of foot exam and HbA1c testing. We could not prove better glycaemic control (p>0.1). Nevertheless, the proposed benchmark for the suggested quality process and outcome indicators were mostly exceeded in this cohort. Conclusion The introduction of a nurse into the team improves the process quality of care. Benchmarks for quality indicators are obtainable. Better outcomes of care need further confirmation.

Abstract Aims To collect and analyse representative data of structural and process quality in the management of diabetic emergencies in Germany in 2020. Methods A standardised questionnaire comprising detailed items concerning clinically relevant parameters on the structural and process quality of out-of-hospital management of diabetic emergencies was sent nationwide to medical directors of emergency medical service districts (EMSDs). Results were compared with those from a similar study conducted in 2001. Results The return rate of the questionnaires represented 126 EMSDs, serving a total population of > 40.1 million. Only 4% of ambulances carried glucagon (6% in 2001). In 2020, blood glucose determination increased significantly to 71% of all emergency interventions and to 29% of suspected cardiac emergencies (24% and 15%, respectively, in 2001). In 100% of EMSDs severe hypoglycaemia (SH) was treated by paramedics by administering intravenous dextrose before the arrival of a doctor compared to 63% in 2001. The potential value of nasal glucagon was acknowledged by 43% of responders. In selected patients, treatment of SH was conducted without hospital admission in 78% of EMDs (60% in 2001). Fifty-three percent of medical directors acknowledged the need for further training in diabetic emergencies (47% in 2001). Cooperation for medical education between emergency teams and a diabetes centre was reported by 14% (41% in 2001). Conclusion Structural and process quality of the management of diabetic emergencies in Germany has improved considerably since 2001. Persisting deficiencies could be improved by providing better medical equipment in ambulances and ongoing education to the entire emergency teams.

One-on-one career counseling has been established as the most effective type of career intervention. Prior research results have suggested that process quality determines counseling success. In this multilevel study, career counseling process quality is validated as a predictor of job seekers’ reemployment at three Swiss job centers. Supervisors’ evaluations of the process quality of mandatory counseling sessions predicted faster reemployment of the 444 counseled job seekers by 18.9 working days on average. This effect equals yearly savings of 418 million Swiss Francs CHF (US$ 422 million) in Swiss unemployment benefits. While in many countries, the counseling of the unemployed is predominantly an administrative process, the findings should encourage investments in process quality of career counseling to promote reemployment. Furthermore, the study calls for further research on the underlying factors of career counseling process quality and the respective career counselor behaviors.

Capability Indices

Machine tools are fundamental equipment in industrial production, and their processing quality exerts a direct impact on the quality of the component product that they process. Thus, machine tool manufacturers develop various machine tools depending on market needs and processing functions, and the processed component products generally possess multiple smaller-the-better, larger-the-better, and nominal-the-best quality characteristics at the same time. For this reason, this study employed the widely used process capability indices, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] to develop a model that can evaluate the process quality of component products and analyze the processing quality of various machine tools. We first converted the process capability indices into functions of the accuracy and precision indices and constructed a multi-characteristic quality analysis chart that can identify the reason for poor process quality in a quality characteristic. Furthermore, considering the fact that the process capability indices can only be estimated, which may lead to misjudgment in the evaluation of process quality, we derived the [Formula: see text] upper confidence limits of indices and the coordinates formed by the corresponding accuracy and precision indices. Manufacturers can then evaluate the process quality levels of the quality characteristics based on where the coordinates falls in the multi-characteristic quality analysis chart. This can more reliably assist manufacturers in monitoring the processing quality of their machine tools and providing feedback to the machine tool manufacturers for machine improvement.

Evaluation forms a major criterion in universities and higher educational institutes, for training expert human resources and producing knowledge and technology. Also important is evaluation of the teaching quality, for the accreditation and efficacy of a university and its academic faculties. This paper is a survey of the evaluation of teaching quality done based on surveying and comparing students’ and professors’ views among the business management, industrial management, and accounting departments in Persian Gulf University (PGU), Bushehr. A research-structured questionnaire was applied to measure and evaluate the teaching quality. The statistical population comprised of 1280 PGU students, including 28 faculty members and 276 persons randomly selected based on stratification sampling method. Content analysis was used for validity while Chronbach’s Alpha was used for reliability (α = 0.92). Findings based on T-test, ANOVA and other tests showed several effective factors impacting the attitude and evaluation of the teaching process quality.

Although the quality of a completed engine ready for shipping is traditionally assured by adopting the firing run at the final process of the engine assembly line, we have still not readily accepted the testing of engines in cold state i.e. without actual combustion & continue to neglect all its long term benefits in view of the immediate shortcomings which not only enhances the inspection speed, fault detection but also poses zilch threat to the environment around us. It increases the effectiveness of the “In-Process Quality Control” of an Engine production line.
