...best work to measure Xemba Translations performance on this project is project diagnostic metrics. While not all risks of a project can be mitigated, using this objective data based on these metrics will make a huge difference to mitigate risk. Using diagnostic project metrics is like using a thermometer to assess the projects current status. This can help eliminate or mitigate the issue before it becomes unmanageable at the close of the project. This can help avoid the, should have, could have, would have moments that may happen once the project closes and gets reviewed from a retrospective project metric. With the diagnostic project metric when an issue does arise a contingency plan can be created if there is a trend toward a major risk as well. Diagnostic project metrics use current project statistics to gage where the project stands throughout the work of the project. This allows the project manager the ability to make better decisions along the route of the project to mitigate risk. Metrics that help improve the decision making, help aid to lower the risk of any project. Diagnostic metrics are comparative measures. The metrics compare a baseline (usually set at time of planning the project) to current project actuals. The actuals are compared to an earned value figure that is determined by where the project should be at that exact moment in time according to the project schedule. These diagnostic metrics will use the actual cost, earned value, and planned value to evaluate...

CA may look at linguistic structures in a twofold way: predictability power and wash back effect (Cheng, Watanabe & Curtis, 2004). The former deals with foreseeing the areas of problems the Iranian learners may commit and the latter refers to the effect of diagnostic value of CA on improvement of teaching processes. CA in the present study focuses on interrogative sentences which are in the form of questions (e.g., Did you clean the table?) which play a very important role in learning English among Iranian high school students. Many Iranian learners, especially at the elementary and intermediate levels, have a lot of problems with the production of English questions accurately. Thus this study is mainly a descriptive...

...PATIENT SATISFACTION IN HOSPITALS (A Study on Three Urban Hospitals in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh) T Sreenivas1 and Nethi Suresh Babu2* *Corresponding Author: Nethi Suresh Babu, sureshbabu.nethi@yahoo.co.in Objectives: 1. To study the satisfaction levels of the patient in sample hospitals. 2. To suggest measures to strengthen the administrative practices that improves patient satisfaction in hospitals in India. Settings: Government General Hospital (GGH), St. Joseph General Hospital (SJGH) and NRI Hospital (NRI) in the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India. Results: 38 – Items scales having good reliability and validity was developed. Seven dimensions of perceived quality were identified—Admission Procedure, Physical Facilities, Diagnostic Services, Behaviour of the staff, Cleanliness, Dietary Services and Discharge procedure. The researcher observed that patient satisfaction is high in the case of SJGH and followed by NRI and GGH. Conclusion: The developed scale is used to measure perceived quality at a range of facility types for patients. Perceived quality at public facilities is only marginally favorable, leaving much scope for improvement. Better staff and physician relations, interpersonal skills, infrastructure, and availability of drugs have the largest effect in improving patient satisfaction. In this study patient refer to inpatient. Keywords: Health care system, Quality of services, Inpatient satisfaction INTRODUCTION A critical challenge for health service providers...

...Economic Issues Simulation Budget constraints increasingly determine the provision of health care services. One of the promises of cost-effectiveness analysis is that it can demonstrate how to maximize the health care benefits attainable within a specific budget.1,2 Despite this promise, cost-effectiveness analysis has been criticized for setting health care priorities in a way that violates people's values.3-5 For example, many people value equity in the distribution of health care resources, yet equity is not accounted for in cost-effectiveness analyses.6-13 A basic assumption of cost-effectiveness analysis is that one should always prefer a health care intervention that provides a population with more benefit per dollar than another intervention. However, sometimes budget constraints make it impossible to offer the most cost-effective intervention to everyone in the population, raising issues of equity.14 For example, suppose one has a fixed budget of $200,000 with which to screen a specific population for colon cancer. Test 1 costs $200,000 to offer to everyone in the population and prevents 1000 deaths from colon cancer. Test 2 costs $400,000 to offer to everyone and prevents 2200 deaths from colon cancer. Because of the budget, it is impossible to offer test 2 to everyone. However, it is possible to offer it to half the population, thereby exhausting the $200,000 budget and preventing 1100 deaths from colon cancer. Test 2 is more cost effective than test 1, because for...

...The University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (UWHC) are teaching hospitals and lead the state of Wisconsin in technology, national certification, and accreditation. While the UWHC is focused on earning national accreditations and is currently the only hospital in Wisconsin with National Cancer Institute (NCI) status, it does not compete globally. SITUATION ANALYSIS The UWHC has the opportunity to demonstrate the expertise of their radiologic breast specialists on a global level by using their digital mammography equipment in countries where mortality rates are not decreasing by the standard 15% with the introduction of screening mammography (Jorgensen, et al, 2010). Denmark is a textbook example, with high breast cancer mortality rates which haven’t been significantly reduced with the introduction of screening mammography. There are several key reasons the mortality rate in Denmark is not declining at the same rate as the United States and most other developed countries: • The screening guidelines are much more lax. • They have a poor quality of film. • Their radiologists are not exceptionally adept at recognizing tumors and calcifications (cancerous when grouped or amorphous). • Staff is not trained to the same criterion. • Equipment used is not standardized across the board. • Eligible women have low mammogram screening participation rates. Issues: • Permission from the government-run healthcare system in Denmark, funding • Skepticism, group-think...

...The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) was designed to measure the intensity of dysfunctional attitudes, a hallmark feature of depression. Various exploratory factor analytic studies of the DAS form A (DAS-A) yielded mixed results. The current study was set up to compare the fit of various factor models. We used a large community sample (N = 8,960) to test the previously proposed factor models of the DAS-A using confirmatory factor analysis. The retained model of the DAS-A was subjected to reliability and validity analyses. All models showed good fit to the data. Finally, a two-factor solution of the DAS-A was retained, consisting of 17 items. The factors demonstrated good reliability and convergent construct validity. Significant associations were found with depression. Norm-scores were presented. We advocate the use of a 17-item DAS-A, which proved to be useful in measuring dysfunctional beliefs. On the basis of previous psychometric studies, our study provides solid evidence for a two-factor model of the DAS-A, consisting of ‘dependency’ and ‘perfectionism/performance evaluation’. Introduction. According to Beck’s view of depression (Beck 1972; Beck et al. 1979), individuals vulnerable to depression have maladaptive schemas, which remain dormant until triggered by stressful life events. Dysfunctional beliefs reflect the content of these relatively stable schemas. In the past, many studies were unsuccessful in demonstrating this cognitive vulnerability; dysfunctional beliefs...

...International Trade As An Engine of Growth In Developing Countries: a Case Study of Nigeria (1980-2003) SECTION ONE 1.1 INTRODUCTION A ll economies are increasingly open in today’s economic environment of globalization. Trade plays a vital role in shaping economic and social performance and prospects of countries around the world, especially those of developing countries. No country has grown without trade. However, the contribution of trade to development depends a great deal on the context in which it works and the objectives it serves. In recent decades, a number of developing countries, most notably the East Asian newly industrializing countries, have been able to purposefully use the elemental force of trade to boost growth and development within a relatively short time span. At the same time many other developing countries, especially the least developed countries (LDCs), have embarked on unilateral trade liberalization in recent years, with very limited results at best in terms of increased growth and development. To act as an engine of development, trade must lead to steady improvements in human conditions by expanding the range of people’s choice, a notion that the concept of human development 3 tries to capture. From this standpoint, the trade and development performance of a country cannot be seen as the mere sum of its economic growth and export performance. Instead, it is a composite notion, reflecting how trade relates to the range of choices available...

...Discussion Health IT Adoption Introducing change in health care is never easy, i.e, the Obama Healthcare, (universal healthcare system) budget and implementation. By year 2014, the government will oversee that all Americans should receive healthcare regardless of pre-existing conditions, but that also means longer lines and longer services. Even with the change of technologies, I am sure there is significant doubt and opposition. So it comes as no surprise that in the face of changes of the adoption of health IT adoption – even though it carries the promise of improving the nation’s health care – some hospitals and providers will want to push back. Why should we care? The American people should care because they deserve better health care than they are currently receiving, and they need it delivered more efficiently. Health IT Adoption Plan is part of our economic recovery plan. Every provider, every patient throughout our nation will benefit from the goals envisioned by Health IT Adoption. Yes, this will be a challenge. While large hospital networks and smaller providers may be stretched to meet national health IT goals, it is not beyond their capacity for growth. There are incentive programs that will encourage and provide reimbursement to providers who have achieved meaningful use. This will also providing patients with improved quality and safety, more efficient care and save more lives and reduce redundant procedures which will save revenue...
