ABSTRACT Study Objective: The purpose of this study was to obtain data on various characteristics of peer reviews. These reviews were performed for the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners (NSBME) to assess physician licensees' negligence and/or incompetence. It was hoped that this data could help identify and define certain characteristics of peer reviews. Methods: This study examined two years of data collected on peer reviews. The complaints were initially screened by a medical reviewer and/or a committee composed of Board members to assess the need for a peer review. Data was then collected from the peer reviews performed. The data included costs, specialty of the peer reviewer, location of the peer reviewer, and timeliness of the peer reviews. Results: During the two-year study, 102 peer reviews were evaluated. Sixty-nine percent of the peer-reviewed complaints originated from civil malpractice cases and 15% originated from complaints made by patients. Eighty percent of the complaint physicians were located in Clark County and 12% were located in Washoe County. Sixty-one percent of the physicians who performed the peer reviews were located in Washoe County and 24% were located in Clark County. Twelve percent of the complaint physicians were in practice in the state for 5 years or less, 40% from 6 to 10 years, 20% from 11 to 15 years, 16% from 16 to 20 years, and 13% were in practice 21 years or more. Forty-seven percent of the complaint physicians had three or less total complaints filed with the Board, 10% had four to six complaints, 17% had 7 to 10 complaints, and 26% had 11 or more complaints. The overall quality of peer reviews was judged to be good or excellent in 96% of the reviews. A finding of malpractice was found in 42% of the reviews ordered by the medical reviewer and in 15% ordered by the Investigative Committees. There was a finding of malpractice in 38% of the overall total of peer reviews. The total average cost of a peer review was $791. In 47% of the peer reviews requested, materials were sent from the Board to the peer reviewer within 60 days of the original request and 33% took more than 120 days for the request to be sent. In 48% of the reviews, the total time for the peer review to be performed by the peer reviewer was less than 60 days. Twenty seven percent of the peer reviews took more than 120 days to be returned. Conclusion: Further data is needed to draw meaningful conclusions from certain peer review characteristics reported in this study. However, useful data was obtained regarding timeliness in sending out peer review materials, total times for the peer reviews, and costs.

This paper analyzed total direct cost that is paid by the Social Security Organization of Malaysia (SOCSO) to the Malaysian workers due to musculoskeletal disease. The objectives of this study are 1) to determine the total direct costs incurred as a result of cases of chronic musculoskeletal injuries that was approved by SOCSO from 2009 to 2014 and 2) to examine the age category imposed for the total average cost of the highest MSDs claims for the four categories setting. The data provided by SOCSO on occupational diseases and adopt the top-down approach which includes of 416 claims reported between 2009 and 2014. The categories recorded are the highest total direct cost for types of industries, types of injury, causes of accident and type of body parts. The age claimant is then identified from total average cost earned from the highest total direct cost of the four categories. Manufacturing industry, strenuous movement, sprain and strain and back are recorded as highest total direct cost with the cost of RM 5,181,282.34, RM 7,088,839.51, RM 8,753,975.13, and RM 5,526,590.69, respectively. The age group of 35 – 44 years is recorded as the highest total average cost of these four parameters.

17 Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer in the US, affecting more than 3 million people every year, and the incidence of BCC is increasing. Traditional management of BCC involves multiple physician visits and a pre-treatment biopsy which may be unnecessary. We assessed the costs of treating BCC, comparing traditional management with a simplified scheme. Methods: We developed a decision analytic model to compare the costs of traditional BCC management with a simplified Detect and Treat (DAT) scheme that eliminates pre-treatment biopsy. We assumed that all patients had an unequivocal BCC diagnosis based on clinical and dermoscopic findings. In the traditional approach, all patients had a biopsy prior to treatment. In the DAT scheme, well delineated lesions ≤1cm in diameter on the trunk and extremities were treated with shave removal and Mohs indicated lesions were referred to Mohs for on-site histologic check, both eliminating pre-treatment biopsy. Distributions of lesion location, size and treatment modality, and estimates of clinical diagnostic accuracy and success of shave removal were from the literature and from an analysis of 240 consecutive BCC cases seen over 5 years at our institution. Costs were based on assumptions about the number of dermatologist visits, tests and procedures required for each strategy, and unit prices from the 2014 Medicare physician fee schedule. Results: The average cost per case in the DAT scheme was $449 for non-Mohs-indicated lesions and $819 for Mohs-indicated lesions, compared with $566 and $864, respectively, with traditional management. DAT was associated with a savings of $117 (21% of total average cost) per non-Mohs-indicated case and $45 (5% of total average cost) per Mohs-indicated case. The combined weighted average savings per case was $95 (15% of total average cost). The magnitude of savings varied with changes in model parameters, but conclusions were similar under a wide range of plausible scenarios. Conclusions: A simplified management strategy that avoids routine pre-treatment biopsy can reduce the cost of treating BCC without compromising quality of care.

This paper deals with the problem of determining the economic order quantity (EOQ)in the interval sense. A purchasing inventory model with shortages and lead time, whose carryingcost, shortage cost, setup cost, demand quantity and lead time are considered as interval numbers,instead of real numbers. First, a brief survey of the existing works on comparing and ranking anytwo interval numbers on the real line is presented. A common algorithm for the optimum productionquantity (Economic lot-size) per cycle of a single product (so as to minimize the total average cost) isdeveloped which works well on interval number optimization under consideration. A numerical exampleis presented for better understanding the solution procedure. Finally a sensitive analysis of the optimalsolution with respect to the parameters of the model is examined.

Purpose – The authors consider a system which is a part of a complex equipment (e.g. aircraft, automobile, medical equipment, production machine, etc.), and which consists of N independent series subsystems. The purpose of this paper is to determine simultaneously the system design (reliability) and its preventive maintenance (PM) replacements periodicity which minimize the total average cost per time unit over the equipment useful life, taking into account a minimum required reliability level between consecutive replacements. Design/methodology/approach – The problem is tackled in the context of reliability-based design (RBD) considering at the same time the burn-in of components, the warranty commitment and the maintenance strategy to be adopted. A mathematical model is developed to express the total average cost per time unit to be minimized under a reliability constraint. The total average cost includes the cost of acquiring and assembling components, the burn-in of each component, preventive and corrective replacements performed during the warranty and post-warranty periods. A numerical procedure is proposed to solve the problem. Findings – For any given set of input data including components reliability, their cost and the costs of their preventive and corrective replacements, the system design (reliability) and the periodicity of preventive replacement during the post-warranty period is obtained such as the system’s total average cost per time unit is minimized. The obtained results clearly indicate that a decrease in the number of PM actions to be performed during the post-warranty period increases the number of components to be added at each subsystem at the design stage. Research limitations/implications – Given that the objective function (cost rate function) to be minimized is non-linear and involves several integer variables, it has not been possible to derive the optimal solution. A numerical procedure based on a heuristic approach has been proposed to solve the problem finding a nearly optimal solution for a given set of input data. Practical implications – This paper offers to manufacturers a comprehensive approach to look for the most economical combination of the reliability level to be given to their products at the design stage, on one hand, and the PM policy to be adopted, on the other hand, given the offered warranty and service for the products and reliability requirements during the life cycle. Originality/value – While the RBD problem has been largely treated, most of the published works have focussed on the development or the improvement of solving techniques used to find the optimal configuration. In this paper the authors provide a more comprehensive approach that considers simultaneously RBD, the burn-in and warranty periods, along with the maintenance policy to be adopted. The authors also consider the context of products whose component failures cannot be rectified through repair actions. They can only be fixed by replacement.

Bangladesh is a developing country and agriculture is the largest sector of the economy. Agricultural producers, food producers, and handicrafts producers are not getting the proper price. Because, Bangladesh fully depends on the intermediaries because of improper infrastructure in supply chain of their product and shortage of capital as well literacy. A baseline study entitled “Development of marketing and distribution channel to ensure fair price for the products of Cooperative Societies under Department of Cooperatives” was conducted primarily to find out the present scenario of producing, selling, and supply chain of products of producers under cooperative society which would examine the challenges in productions, selling and supply chain for the producers of cooperative society, also analyze Time, Cost and Visit (TCV) regarding selling of produced goods and finally to find a way to mitigate these challenges. In this study, purposive sampling method was used for determining the sample where more than 160 respondents were selected as sample size. 34% people had to give commission to the whole seller and there was higher transportation cost. 34% of producers said that they sold their products at lower price; some people (40%) got their products price lately. There was also money collection problem (33%). Most of the farmers were illiterate and for that reason, they did not have the ability to sell their products in the international market and also nationwide, they just only sold to local market. Ministry of local Government & Cooperative Society could play a vital role to bring formation within the framework of Cooperative Society and could minimize the role of middlemen of marketing agricultural products of Bangladesh.

In our paper, the methodical approach is proposed for risks minimization of classification society (CS) related to providing the low quality service by recognized vendors. For example, above vendors provide measurement of residual thicknesses of hull, radio expertise, underwater observations, etc. Safe operation of a ship is immediately determined by qualitative and reliable action of vendors. The method is worked out for optimization of  quality level of services providing  to CS by the vendors which allows us to assess reliability and qua-lity of vendors’ work, and the methodical approach for expediency of risks    insurance determination is proposed, as well. This methodical approach is based on the methods of mathematical reliability theory and evaluation of fai-lures probabilities of some subsystems of ship under operation. It is assumed that quality of vendors work is determined by the volumes of works for each subsystem. The optimization problem is formulated for determination of these volumes which minimize the total average cost for ship observation  by vendors and liquidation of failures sequences. The criterion of insurance expediency  of  failures risk  for the ship under operation (between two neighbor examinations) is formulated. The method is illustrated by numerical results.
