At least 10% of the blood smear, Kato-Katz thick smear, adhesive tape and urine filtration slides were subjected to re-examination for quality control by independent trained microscopists blinded to the initial result.
Only those results that passed examinations for quality assurance and quality control of the GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays were retrieved.
Prevalence-based indicators allow for examination of quality at a single point in time.
Again, lack of laboratory data in the NHI data sets prevents us from direct measurement of clinical outcomes; however, the recorded metabolic tests and referrals for retinal examination used for quality evaluation in this study constituted process measures for agreed best practice in diabetes care.
Examination of quality and quantity for individual RNA was performed, and all RNA samples were eligible.
Each year, an average of 1,263 University of Valle students take the Examinations for Higher Education Quality (, ECAES).
Study findings presented in this paper are based on a selected sub-sample of participants who underwent replicate examinations for data quality assurance purposes.
Third, the data that would allow for an examination of either quality of care provided or quality of dying – both of which are central to any study seeking to improve service delivery and associated outcomes – is not collected.
However, we believe that, at least in tertiary ICUs, autopsies remain a valuable examination, as a tool for quality control, as a way of establishing gold standards for diagnostic examinations and as an aid in developing guidelines for treatment and diagnosis of diseases frequently encountered in the ICU.
As there is no population-specific, simple food-based diet index suitable for examination of diet quality in New Zealand (NZ) adolescents, there is a need to develop such a tool.
However, autopsies remain a valuable examination as a tool for quality control as they help detecting clinical misdiagnosis.
