Since this study was aimed at EPs, we cannot draw any conclusions about PSA performance and guideline adherence in EDs without EPs.
Our article summarises the efforts and problems to develop quality indicators assessing the treatment of severe mental illness, and critically discusses whether increased measure performance and guideline implementation is likely to lead to better treatment quality and disease outcome.
In contrast, GPs in comparable countries like The Netherlands, Denmark and the UK have been subjected to more extensive demands to practice cost effectiveness; in the UK the new 2004 GP contract employs economic incentives to increase performance and guideline adherence.
Two passive system parameters (rubber path structural damping and disturbance moment arm) emerge as key design variables that drastically change the performance index, and guidelines are developed for desirable path interactions.
In terms of advisory leads, relevant recommendations are provided by the lead performance policies and guidelines issued by Heart Rhythm Society [ 5].
Efforts to improve cookstove emissions and fuel efficiency have been aided by recent developments in performance standards and guidelines, including the International Organization for Standardization ISO International Workshop Agreement IWAWA 11 2012, Guidelines for Evaluating Cookstove Performance (IWA 11 2012; ISO 2012).
Recent studies have shown the importance of process design in optimizing membrane system performance and setting guidelines for membrane materials development.
We present an analysis of XCSi performance and the guidelines for a hardware implementation, showing that, although there is a dramatic reduction of available precision, the integer version of XCS can reach optimal performance in all problems considered, though it often converges more slowly than the original floating point version.
CMV QNAT, based most commonly on polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has largely replaced conventional methods owing to better overall performance, and clinical guidelines now recommend the use of these assays for CMV load monitoring in SOT and HSCT recipients to prevent or to manage CMV replication and disease [ 4, 5, 7, 8].
TIGRESS depends on four parameters: the scoring method, the number R of resampling runs, the randomization factor α and the number of LARS steps L. We showed in this paper that changing the value of these parameters can greatly affect the performance and provided guidelines to choose them.
