The actual process of following up, assessing, and developing quality has been given several names, which are sometimes used synonymously in everyday speech, such as quality assurance (in use since 1980), quality assessment, quality improvement, quality development and the more overall term quality work.
Before study implementation, we tested 50 MTB isolates of known resistance patterns from WHO's External Quality Assurance program to evaluate laboratory proficiency in using this assay.
As the analysis of the questionnaire reflects, significant increase in the self-assessed technical knowledge (d = 1.635, p < 0.001) and students' self-assurance (d = 1.568, p < 0.001) in using ultrasound was achieved.
The use of microarrays in clinical diagnostics will require assurance that clinical laboratories are and remain proficient in using this technology.
The study was conducted at a time when Central Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory (CTRL), the laboratory responsible for performing quality assurance, was conducting quality assurance using Lot Quality Assurance System (LQAS).
For such highly dependable applications, code inspection and testing, the predominant quality assurance techniques used in practice today, are, in general, not sufficient to demonstrate the functional correctness and safety of an application.
When the National Health Services Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) was set up in 1988, its performance was managed by a strong quality assurance programme using nationally set targets and regional quality assurance team inspections (NHS Breast Screening Programme, 2000, 2005a, 2005b).
(KII, provider) With a few exceptions, most providers were unfamiliar with the quality assurance measures used currently in their units.
Animal studies have long been a cornerstone of biomedical and environmental health research, and scientists need assurance that animals used in these studies are being cared for in ways that will not unknowingly influence experimental outcomes.
Thus, assurance of criteria used in designing of the dynamometer and usage reliability of the dynamometer in drilling and allied processes to derive an expression for cutting forces or to measure cutting forces directly for conventional or newly developed materials have been approved.
