...MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA) (Revised) 1. The Program: The importance of „management‟ as a professional study can today be compared with that of obtaining a normal graduate degree in order to be called educated. It is just short of becoming a compulsion. Businesses and institutions are growing in complexity and size. They are cutting across space and time by embracing technology, globalization and information. Mere operational efficiency is no more sufficient. Managerial capabilities have become necessary for firms to act on a global platform. Although there are a large number of institutions offering MBA programs, many of them just churn out non employable MBAs. A good institute must incorporate what the industry requires with changing times. The SMU way to Management degree or diploma is to mould the learning towards this objective. With this perspective it has introduced several programs which are geared to meet the industry requirement. These areas are Banking, Information System, Retail Operations and Healthcare. It is planning to offer more programs in the field of environment, disaster management, and media. The master of business administration (MBA) is an integrated program designed to provide an advanced program in management for those seeking managerial positions in industry, commerce and services.

...Critical Appraisal of Guideline Critical Appraisal of Guideline Appraisal Tool The tool chosen to appraise the guideline is called the AGREE II (http://www.agreetrust.org/). The purpose of the AGREE II is to examine the quality of guidelines through a step-by-step approach as to what and how information is presented in a guideline. The step-by-step approach is completed via twenty three steps which are categorized into 6 domains. Domain one addresses the overall scope and purpose of the guideline. Domain two is concerned with the stakeholders’ involvement and how the intended users view the guideline. Domain three pertains to the rigor of development of the guideline through eight steps which cover the method of evidence synthesis. Domain four deals with the clarity of the presentation throughout the guideline. Domain five is titled applicability, and it focuses on barriers and facilitators in applying the guideline. Domain six is titled editorial independence and evaluates whether the guideline is free from biases. Guideline The guideline chosen for appraisal is Diagnosis and management of headache in adults. A national clinical guideline (http://www.guideline.gov/content.aspx?id=13446#Section396). Critique Domain one: The guideline presents evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of headaches in adults.

...Clinical Audit An audit of subcutaneous syringe drivers in a non-specialist hospital K Dunne, K Sullivan, A Garvey, G Kernohan, A Diamond, C Duffy, J Hutchinson drug administration can facilitate the management of pain, control of nausea and vomiting, restlessness, confusion and drying secretions in the throat. Abstract T he use of syringe drivers as a method of drug delivery to control symptoms in palliative care is a common and accepted practice, but one which has evolved rather than been subject to close multiprofessional scrutiny and guideline formation. There is evidence that adverse incidents may arise as a result of syringe driver use (Medical Devices Agency (MDA), 1998), for example, errors in drug calculations, drug stability, equipment failure (including disconnection) and the wrong rate of infusion. Inadequate user training, poor servicing of equipment and inadequate documentation and record keeping are all thought to be contributing factors (MDA, 1998). In the hospital where this audit was carried out, syringe drivers are used to administer drugs to patients with cancer during the palliative phase of illness. The purpose of this clinical audit was to establish the standard of current practice in wards where syringe drivers were being used. A retrospective study of 13 cases of syringe driver use is presented. The results highlight many areas of unregulated practice with regard to setting up, monitoring and maintenance of syringe drivers. The choice of...
