BACKGROUND Family therapy and family-based treatment has been commonly applied in children and adolescents in mental health care and has been proven to be effective. There is an increased interest in economic evaluations of these, often expensive, interventions. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize and evaluate the evidence on cost-effectiveness of family/family-based therapy for e...

Checklists are a critical component of most any military operation and both the construction of and presentation of checklists can affect the performance and efficiency of these operations. The purpose of this research project is to compare methods for displaying and executing checklists in a command and control operation to increase both performance and efficiency. The NORAD/NORTHCOM Command C...

The Intelligent Software System for Usability Evaluation ISSUE is based on a checklist and on a fuzzy backpropagation (FBP) algorithm developed by authors. A number of criteria which a well-designed hypermedia user interface should aim to meet form the basis of the checklist. The FBP algorithm represents a combined model based on fuzzy logic and neural networks. It supports the acquisition of i...

In Phase IV of the human factors program, two distinct projects have been undertaken. The continuing involvement with Continental Airlines and SUNY at Buffalo on workcard design has now produced a portable computer-based system. This combines the successful improvements to the paper-based workcard (Phase III) with the advantages of a hypertext system allowing multi-level access to documentation...

An approach for ergonomic evaluation of hospital service quality (EQUALHI) is proposed. It is based on a checklist tool using a neural networks-based evaluation model. This approach enables the determination of the most important ergonomic criteria and the generation of recommendations for improving the hospital service quality. EQUALHI is illustrated and validated by a study in 50 smalland med...

A semiautomated system for radiotherapy treatment plan quality control (QC), named AutoLock, is presented. AutoLock is designed to augment treatment plan QC by automatically checking aspects of treatment plans that are well suited to computational evaluation, whilst summarizing more subjective aspects in the form of a checklist. The treatment plan must pass all automated checks and all checklis...

In this study an approach for neural networks evaluation of quality management (QM) is proposed. It is based on a checklist tool using a neural networks-based evaluation model. This approach enables the determination of the most important quality criteria and the generation of recommendations for improving the quality management in textile sector. A neural networks method is illustrated and val...

In this paper an introduction to and description of the risk assessment tools that are freely available for companies in The Netherlands is given. It is explained in what way the tools can and should be used and how the level I checklist for physical load and the level II instruments are related. The two instruments that -in 2011- made this 'Dutch toolbox' complete, are the checklist physical l...
