The effects of CI tools and implementation practices on hospital performance

Creator:: Holliday, John W.
Abstract:: Continuous Improvement (CI) is an integral part of hospital administration. This study examined the relationship between five CI variables against six hospital criterion measures of, wait times to prepare a room, patient costs per day, waiting time for lab results, reportable errors, patient satisfaction, and employee satisfaction. The research was...

Comparison of two commercial detector arrays for RapidArc quality assurance

Creator:: Asay, Matthew Jamin
Abstract:: Radiation therapy is used in approximately half of all cancer treatments. The rapid advances in radiation therapy have led to techniques that are much more complex and therefore must be more carefully assessed for safety and efficacy. Accurate quality assurance methods must be implemented to provide patient safety and confidence...

Probabilistic models for quality control in environmental sensor networks

Creator:: Dereszynski, Ethan W.
Abstract:: Networks of distributed, remote sensors are providing ecological scientists with a view of our environment that is unprecedented in detail. However, these networks are subject to harsh conditions, which lead to malfunctions in individual sensors and failures in network communications. This behavior manifests as corrupt or missing measurements in the...

Machine learning for improving the quality of citizen science data

Creator:: Yu, Jun
Abstract:: Citizen Science is a paradigm in which volunteers from the general public participate in scientific studies, often by performing data collection. This paradigm is especially useful if the scope of the study is too broad to be performed by a limited number of trained scientists. Although citizen scientists can contribute...
