This is a commentary on Gilbert and colleagues’ (1) paper on morality and markets in the National Health Service (NHS). Morality and values are not ephemeral qualities and universal healthcare is not simply an aspiration; it has to be enshrined in law. The creation of the UK NHS in 1948 was underpinned by core legal duties which required a system of public funding and delivery to follow. The mo...

The quanta image sensor (QIS) is a photon-counting that has been implemented using different electron devices, including impact ionization-gain such as the single-photon avalanche detectors (SPADs), and low-capacitance, high conversion-gain modified CMOS sensors (CIS) with deep subelectron read noise and/or low readout signal chains. This article primarily focuses on CIS QIS, but recent progres...

OBJECTIVE The Québec Incidence Study on situations investigated by child protective services (QIS) has been conducted in 5-year cycles since 1998 in collaboration with all 16 Québec child protection agencies. It provides reliable estimates of the incidence and characteristics of investigated children. The aim of this paper is to discuss major findings from the QIS-2008 and to compare them with ...

OBJECTIVES Accreditation in France relies on a mandatory 4-year cycle of self-assessment and a peer review of 82 standards, among which 14 focus priority standards (FPS). Hospitals are also required to measure yearly quality indicators (QIs-5 in 2010). On advice given by the accreditation committee of HAS (Haute Autorité en Santé), based on surveyors proposals and relying mostly on compliance t...

Background: The increased focus on quality indicators (QIs) and the use of clinical registries in real-world cancer studies have compliance with therapeutic standards patient survival. European Society Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) established QIs to assess current breast care. Methods: This retrospective study is part H360 Health Analysis aims describe EUSOMA management different hospital...

martin powell makes the point that the death of the national health service (nhs) is constantly asserted without criteria. this article suggests that the nhs is many things, which makes criteria unstable. the alignment of interests in the structure of the nhs enables both overheated rhetoric and political strength, and that pluralization of provision might actually undermine that alignment over...

BACKGROUND Quality indicators (QI) are used in health care to measure quality of service and performance improvement. Health care professionals and organizations caring for patients with injuries need information regarding the quality of care provided and the outcomes experienced in order to target improvement efforts. However, very little is known about the quality of injury care provided to i...
