Recent research suggests that the stereotype of underperformance attributed to female management may not be the result so much of poorer management skills as to using unsuitable comparative performance measures, as well as not taking into account structural characteristics that may be detrimental to the financial performance of companies managed by women.
The findings of this study would appear to suggest that, if used as a comparative performance indicator (as is NCPES data), patient experience measures should be adjusted for age, gender and ethnicity.
Additionally, to facilitate comparative evaluation of performance, as well as to ensure that improvements are not statistical anomalies, the authors suggest that significance testing be applied to future published work.
Respondents who recognised the added value of PD expertise among physiotherapists were 3.28 times as likely to search for comparative performance information as those who did not understand.
The comparative performance accuracy (as assessed by sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) for each CDR has been presented elsewhere [ 15].
Having standard databases not only prevents the researchers from compiling the databases but also provides them with an opportunity to have an objective as well as comparative performance evaluation of their developed systems.
I asked Honor Page what she would do if, after all her efforts and the efforts of the doctors and nurses at Cincinnati Children's Hospital to insure that "there was no place better in the world" to receive cystic-fibrosis care, their comparative performance still rated as resoundingly average.
Similarly, "Incomplete Game" can also give the comparative performance to IBM, as it also reduces collision by adjusting its equilibrium strategy.
Simulation results of various problem sizes are presented to show the benefits of this method as well as its comparative performance with a greedy sensor placement method.
