Artificial intelligence (AI) is critical for improving the quality of stem cell manufacturing and delivery. AI can assist in determining viability, effectiveness, efficacy, safety cells. Furthermore, regenerative medicine, utilized to streamline simulation model-building processes find connections between cellular activities their microenvironments. However, thoughtful consideration required mi...

Presentation Managing variation is essential to quality improvement. Quality improvement is primarily concerned with two types of variation – common-cause variation and specialcause variation. Common-cause variation is random variation present in stable healthcare processes. Special-cause variation is an unpredictable deviation resulting from a cause that is not an intrinsic part of a process. ...

BACKGROUND Clinical governance (CG) is an approach to quality improvement in healthcare aimed at achieving a patient-centered health care system. The main objective of this study was to highlight human centered healthcare latent factors underlying the results of a CG assessment performed in the teaching hospital "A. Gemelli" of Rome, Italy. MATERIALS AND METHODS CG implementation levels were ...

OBJECTIVE To develop methods for systematically reviewing evidence for identifying effective laboratory medicine (LM) practices associated with improved healthcare quality outcomes. RELEVANCE Although many evidence-evaluation systems have been developed, none are designed to include and rate healthcare quality improvement studies to identify evidence-based practices that improve patient safet...

Purpose Healthcare workers have a main role in detection, assessment and spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and improvement of their related knowledge, attitude and perception is essential. The goal of this study was evaluation of clinical pharmacists' interventions in improvement of knowledge, attitude and perception of healthcare workers about ADRs in a teaching referral ...

Improvement of health care requires making changes in processes of care and service delivery. Although process performance is measured to determine if these changes are having the desired beneficial effects, this analysis is complicated by the existence of natural variation—that is, repeated measurements naturally yield different values and, even if nothing was done, a subsequent measurement mi...

OBJECTIVE Preparation of this supplement, Ten years of improvement innovation in cystic fibrosis care, tested a strategy to support writing and scholarly publication by cystic fibrosis (CF) healthcare improvement professionals. INTERVENTION Critical elements of the writing initiative included: a request for abstracts that was distributed to over 2000 professionals in the Cystic Fibrosis Found...

prove clinical quality of care and patient safety, lower costs, reduce medical errors, and provide more patient-centered service as well as evidence-based practice. Healthcare costs can spin out of control easily. Misallocation of resources can quickly bring down quality of care, and the evidence for this is sharply increasing. Therefore, it is another challenge to utilize data efficiently and ...

The Atlantic Healthcare Collaboration for Innovation and Improvement in Chronic Disease (AHC) Quality Improvement Collaborative (QIC) in Eastern Canada provided an approach to spur system-level reform across multiple health systems for patients and families living with chronic disease. Developed and led by senior executives with a unique governance approach and involving clinical front-line tea...
