Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of a medical school Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program and to explore ways for improvement. Methods: To achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted with seventy-two professors who participated in the 2020 CQI program for developing a CIPP evaluation model-based survey tool. Data analysis was conducted by t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) using SPSS. Results: First, in the context evaluation stage, the purpose of the CQI program was fully recognized but the conditions for participation in the program and the support system needed to be improved. Second, in the input evaluation stage, the support facilities for the operation of the CQI program were satisfactory, but the level of participation and data provision of the program were found to need improvement. Third, in the process evaluation stage, it was found that maintaining and managing the status quo was sufficient for the CQI program operation plan and schedule. Fourth, in the product evaluation stage, it was found that the CQI program was helpful in strengthening student education and medical education competency. However, it was found that improvement was needed to help research activities. Conclusion: Following combining these results, a way to improve the CQI program was suggested in terms of goal setting, operation plan and execution, performance evaluation, and feedback.

Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the Continuous Quality Improvement report on competency education in universities. Methods This study was conducted by analyzing the contents of the CQI report prepared for each of the seven common liberal arts subjects opened at University D, and comparing the results of the student's competency diagnosis conducted before and after the application of the CQI report. Results As a result of the study, it was found that the level of awareness among professors about the CQI report has been steadily improving, and as a result, the narrative content of the report has been greatly improved. Also, it was found that the students' competency scores increased significantly after CQI application compared to before, and the number of competencies that showed an increase in scores also increased. Conclusions It turns out that the CQI report is an effective tool in promoting competency-based education in universities. The CQI report can be a tool to help improve the curriculum in major subjects as well as common liberal arts subjects, the subject of this study.

Abstract:

The efficiency of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) procedure in high speed Downlink packet access (HSDPA) depends on the frequency of the channel quality information (CQI) reports transmitted by the UE to Node B. The more frequent the reports are the more accurate the link adaptation procedure is. On the other hand, the frequent CQI reports increase uplink interference, reducing thus the signal reception quality at the uplink. In this study, we propose an improved CQI reporting scheme which aims to reduce the required CQI signaling by exploiting a CQI prediction method based on a finite-state Markov chain (FSMC) model of the wireless channel. The simulation results show that under a high downlink traffic load, the proposed scheme has a near-to-optimum performance while produces less interference compared to the respective periodic CQI scheme.

Abstract:

Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is an important element in quality management. This is because CQI is a key factor in improving the quality of education and ensuring that improvements in teaching and learning activities are continuously implemented. The implementation of CQI in Vocational Colleges (VCs) is increasingly being carried out in line with the application of the outcome-based learning (OBE) approach. However, reports from the board of accreditation showed differences in CQI practices for several programs under the same institution. Thus, this study can give a clear picture of CQI practice in VCs. This study was conducted to identify CQI practices in VCs and make comparisons of practice based on demographic factors namely gender, age, and teaching field. This survey-based study used questionnaires as a research instrument. The respondents of the study consisted of 87 VCs lecturers in the states of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was used to attain the practice level and make comparisons on demographic factors. The findings of the study found that the practice of CQI in VCs was at a high level. However, there were significant differences based on demographic factors for the age group in the dimensions of customer focus and teamwork. This study could provide input to the Vocational Educational and Training Department (BPLTV) on the practice of CQI in VCs. With this input, actions and improvement measures can be planned and implemented to improve VCs. Therefore, it is hoped that this study could be a platform for improvement in VCs quality management.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Hospital quality improvement initiatives are becoming increasingly common. Little is known about the influence of these initiatives on resident learning and attitudes. Our objective was to assess whether training in a hospital committed to involving residents in hospital-initiated, continuous quality improvement (CQI), and to participation in such activities, would influence residents' attitudes toward CQI and engagement in the hospital community. Methods We surveyed Seattle Children's Hospital pediatric residents, from residency graduation years 2002–2009. We included questions about participation in quality improvement activities during residency and measures of attitude toward CQI and of workplace engagement. We used descriptive statistics to assess trends in resident participation in hospital CQI activities, attitudes toward CQI and workplace engagement. Results The overall response rate was 84% (162 of 194). Among graduated residents, there was a significant trend toward increased participation in CQI activities (P = .03). We found no difference in attitude toward CQI between those who had and those who had not participated in such activities nor between residents who began training before and those who began after the hospital formally committed to CQI. Sixty-three percent of residents (25 of 40) who participated in CQI activities were engaged in the hospital community compared with 53% (57 of 107) who did not participate in CQI activities (P = .21). Conclusions Training in a hospital committed to involving residents in CQI was associated with a high rate of participation in CQI activities. Although such training and participation in CQI were not associated with resident attitudes toward CQI or hospital engagement, it may allow residents to learn skills for practice-based learning and improvement and systems-based practice.

Abstract:

ObjectivesTo examine barriers and facilitators to sustaining a sexual health continuous quality improvement (CQI) programme in clinics serving remote Aboriginal communities in Australia.DesignQualitative study.SettingPrimary health care services serving remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, Australia.ParticipantsSeven of the 11 regional sexual health coordinators responsible for supporting the Northern Territory Government Remote Sexual Health Program.MethodsSemi-structured in-depth interviews conducted in person or by telephone; data were analysed using an inductive and deductive thematic approach.ResultsDespite uniform availability of CQI tools and activities, sexual health CQI implementation varied across the Northern Territory. Participant narratives identified five factors enhancing the uptake and sustainability of sexual health CQI. At clinic level, these included adaptation of existing CQI tools for use in specific clinic contexts and risk environments (eg, a syphilis outbreak), local ownership of CQI processes and management support for CQI. At a regional level, factors included the positive framing of CQI as a tool to identify and act on areas for improvement, and regional facilitation of clinic level CQI activities. Three barriers were identified, including the significant workload associated with acute and chronic care in Aboriginal primary care services, high staff turnover and lack of Aboriginal staff. Considerations affecting the future sustainability of sexual health CQI included the need to reduce the burden on clinics from multiple CQI programmes, the contribution of regional sexual health coordinators and support structures, and access to and use of high-quality information systems.ConclusionsThis study contributes to the growing evidence on how CQI approaches may improve sexual health in remote Australian Aboriginal communities. Enhancing sustainability of sexual health CQI in this context will require ongoing regional facilitation, efforts to build local ownership of CQI processes and management of competing demands on health service staff.

Abstract:

Rationale, aims and objectives: The psychometric qualities of the brief Consumer Quality-Index (CQI), a shortened version of the regular CQI, which measures patient experience, were tested in a large dataset.Method: The brief CQI for mental healthcare (MHC) is aimed at measuring patient experience through a self-report questionnaire. It consists of 19 items, distributed over 8 factors. The reliability and validity (dimensional structure) of the questionnaire were examined, as well as the effect of completing the test anonymously. Also, several indicators of the CQI were compared on their concurrent validity: the total score, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) and the overall judgment (a single item score). The study uses observational data, collected through ROM at the post-test, after the treatment was concluded, by MHC institutes and provided on a monthly basis to the Foundation of Benchmarking Mental Health Care (Stichting Benchmark GGZ), our national benchmark institute. The data set consists of N = 38,131 respondents. The population is composed of patients with common mental disorders and behavioral or addictive disorders. Results: The results show that the CQI total score has satisfactory psychometric properties, but some subscales require improvement as only 2 showed a desired alpha-value. The reliability of the other subscales may be improved by adding extra items. The total score proved to be a better indicator of the CQI than the overall judgment and the NPS. Anonymous completion resulted in somewhat lower scores than non-anonymous completion, although the effect size of this difference was small.Conclusions: Based on the results of this study several improvements for the brief CQI are recommended. Further research should investigate the question as to whether patient characteristics are predictive for the judgment on the CQI. Also, differences between MHC providers in patient experience according to the CQI should be examined.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore the structure and related guidelines and regulations of the CQI, which is being implemented for quality management of education at S University, and to investigate the perception of professors on the CQI. Based on the results, it provides practical help in managing the quality of education. The subjects of the study were 129 professors working at S University, and a questionnaire was constructed after reviewing theories and previous studies. The research questions were, first, to explore the guidelines and regulations related to CQI, second, to analyze the current status of CQI by college and professor position at S University in the first semester of the 2022 academic year, and third, to analyze the differences between the results of the questionnaire and professor characteristics, resulting in the following research findings. It was confirmed that various measures to induce active participation, such as excellent lecture workshops and reflection of teacher performance evaluations, which are used as external motivations to increase professors' participation rates, are needed.

Abstract:

Underlay cognitive radios (UCRs) allow a secondary user to enter a primary user's spectrum through intelligent utilization of multiuser channel quality information (CQI) and sharing of codebook. The aim of this work is to study two-user Gaussian UCR systems by assuming the full or partial knowledge of multiuser CQI. Key contribution of this work is motivated by the fact that the full knowledge of multiuser CQI is not always available. We first establish a location-aided UCR model where the secondary user is assumed to have partial CQI about the secondary-transmitter to primary-receiver link as well as full CQI about the other links. Then, new UCR approaches are proposed and carefully analyzed in terms of the secondary user's achievable rate, denoted by C2, the capacity penalty to primary user, denoted by ΔC1, and capacity outage probability. Numerical examples are provided to visually compare the performance of UCRs with full knowledge of multiuser CQI and the proposed approaches with partial knowledge of multiuser CQI.

Abstract:

Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in higher educational institutions is considered an aspect that plays a vital role in maintaining excellence in teaching and learning. It focuses on several critical phases such as designing Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) assessment plans, collecting data, evaluating the of PLO achievement results, and designing and implementing improvement actions to achieve educational goals. CQI is very critical to assess and improve the educational process. As it appears, academic program decision-makers find difficult to formulate and implement an authentic CQI for their programs without the help of decision support systems (DSSs). Therefore, this paper proposes an integrated decision support model that provides CQI decision support to enhance academic programs. Moreover, it provides authentication of the CQI process by auto-checking the accuracy of the CQI phases (assessment, evaluation, designing, and implementing improvement). After the development and implementation of the proposed model in a bachelor-level academic institution, the results show that the proposed model provides decision support for enhancing academic program’s CQI, and authentication of the CQI accuracy, which will lead to the improvement of the educational process and the achievement of educational goals.

ObjectivesTo examine the impact of state/territory policy support on (1) uptake of evidence-based continuous quality improvement (CQI) activities and (2) quality of care for Indigenous Australians.DesignMixed-method comparative case study methodology, drawing on quality-of-care audit data, documentary evidence of policies and strategies and the experience and insights of stakeholders involved in relevant CQI programmes. We use multilevel linear regression to analyse jurisdictional differences in quality of care.SettingIndigenous primary healthcare services across five states/territories of Australia.Participants175 Indigenous primary healthcare services.InterventionsA range of national and state/territory policy and infrastructure initiatives to support CQI, including support for applied research.Primary and secondary outcome measures(i) Trends in the consistent uptake of evidence-based CQI tools available through a research-based CQI initiative (the Audit and Best Practice in Chronic Disease programme) and (ii) quality of care (as reflected in adherence to best practice guidelines).ResultsProgressive uptake of evidence-based CQI activities and steady improvements or maintenance of high-quality care occurred where there was long-term policy and infrastructure support for CQI. Where support was provided but not sustained there was a rapid rise and subsequent fall in relevant CQI activities.ConclusionsHealth authorities should ensure consistent and sustained policy and infrastructure support for CQI to enable wide-scale and ongoing improvement in quality of care and, subsequently, health outcomes. It is not sufficient for improvement initiatives to rely on local service managers and clinicians, as their efforts are strongly mediated by higher system-level influences.

Abstract:

One of the features applied to fifth generation (5G) technology is Device-to-Device (D2D) communication. The D2D communication can occur directly without going through evolved Node B (eNB). Therefore, that it can reduce traffic density on cellular network communications. However, the application of D2D communication has constrained by the limited transmission distance and multi-user service at the same source. Modelling and simulating the LTE D2D multicast network using software is an effectively and efficiently ways for analyzing mac throughput. The testing of network aims to observe and to analyze the mac throughput using two parameters, the transmission distance and the number of users, based on the utilization of the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) index. The number of user is 20 and distance is 25 meters then mac throughput in index CQI 13 greater than CQI 4 and CQI 7 is 2150.14 Kbps. But the number of user is 20 and distance is 150 meters then CQI 13 smaller than CQI 4 and CQI 7 is 271.22 Kbps. The result of simulation shows that both distance and the number of user have influence mac throughput. The selection of CQI index is the most important factor to maintain the transmission quality and mac throughput.

Abstract:

As the number of Internet of things (IoT) devices increases exponentially, scheduling and managing the radio resources for IoT devices has become more important. To efficiently allocate radio resources, the base station (BS) needs the channel state information (CSI) of devices every time. Hence, each device needs to periodically (or aperiodically) report its channel quality indicator (CQI) to the BS. The BS determines the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the CQI reported by the IoT device. However, the more a device reports its CQI, the more the feedback overhead increases. In this paper, we propose a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based CQI feedback scheme, where the IoT device aperiodically reports its CQI relying on an LSTM-based channel prediction. Additionally, because the memory capacity of IoT devices is generally small, the complexity of the machine learning model must be reduced. Hence, we propose a lightweight LSTM model to reduce the complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed lightweight LSTM-based CSI scheme dramatically reduces the feedback overhead compared with that of the existing periodic feedback scheme. Moreover, the proposed lightweight LSTM model significantly reduces the complexity without sacrificing performance.

Abstract:

In mobile communications systems, fast link adaptation (FLA) aims to achieve high system throughput of each user by accurately determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) for feedback, which predicts the next channel based on the current channel state information. In this paper, we propose an improved calibration method of mutual information effective signal-to noise-ratio mapping (MIESM) to determine an accurate CQI feedback value in FLA. Our proposed calibration method derives the optimal calibration factors by considering various channel environments and setting the effective interval of effective signal-to-noise ratio, which is a single value compressing the information of channel characteristics at a time. The simulation is performed in various signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranges to account for the actual environments, and the calibration factors are derived from the proposed calibration method. The results show that the CQI feedback value from the derived calibration factors are more accurate than the existing calibration factors. In addition, we discuss a study regarding the time-coherence-based CQI feedback bit reduction scheme. Assuming that each channel is correlated to the previous and subsequent channels, we propose a method to reduce the number of CQI feedback bits adapted to the corresponding SNR regime. Through the simulation, we compare the system throughputs of the proposed adaptive CQI feedback and the conventional CQI feedback scheme. As a result, the proposed CQI feedback has almost the same system throughput as the conventional CQI feedback scheme, but the average number of feedback bits is reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the communication.

Abstract:

The goal of this study is to present efficient measures to improve the quality of medical education through using a developed and applied continuous quality improvement (CQI) model suitable for medical education. To achieve this purpose, we developed a theoretical CQI model through a review of the literature according to the design-based research method. Through repetitive productive cyclical processes and professional reviews, we finally deduced an appropriate CQI model for medical education. The most important results of this study are as follows: First, the CQI model for medical education is defined as a quality management system with a cyclical course of planning, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of medical education. Second, the CQI model for medical education is composed of quality management activities of educational design, work, and evaluation. In addition, each activity has the implementation strategies of planning, doing, checking, and improving based on the PDCA model (Plan-Do-Check-Act model). Third, the CQI model for medical school education is composed of committees related to medical education doing improvement activities, as well as planning, implementing and evaluating it with CQI. As a result, we can improve teaching by using the CQI model for medical education. It is more meaningful because this gives us organized and practical measures of quality management and improvement in medical education as well as in the educational process.

Abstract:

The continuous quality improvement (CQI) model has rapidly become the dominant management paradigm in U.S. industrial and health care leadership circles. Despite its widespread corporate acceptance and its relevance to public sector policy issues, there has been a paucity of progressive analysis of CQI. The authors begin by noting remarkable similarities between CQI critiques of Taylorism (so-called scientific management of work) with those made by Braverman, a leading Marxist analyst of the work process. Each of the 14 principles of CQI pioneer W. E. Deming are explained and analyzed for their progressive content. These pluses are then contrasted with 18 problematic issues in an attempt to challenge and go beyond the constraints of CQI as it is currently being applied in health care and other sectors. These issues include (1) mismatch between rhetoric and reality, (2) public sector issues, and (3) broader contradictions. The authors emphasize the genuine need for improving health care quality and the relevance of CQI for addressing this need. They challenge progressives to grapple with the profound contradictions by the CQI paradigm, inviting a broader dialogue on CQI's meaning for improving the public's health.

Abstract:

ObjectiveWe evaluated the role of a quality improvement initiative in improving clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD).MethodsIn a retrospective analysis of 6 years of data from a hospital registry, the period between 1 July 2005 and 30 June 2008 (control group) provided baseline data from before implementation of systemic outcomes monitoring, and the period between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2011 [continuous quality improvement (CQI) group] represented the time when a CQI program was in place. Peritonitis incidence, patient and technique survival, cardiovascular status, causes of death, and drop-out were compared between the groups.ResultsIn the 370 patients of the CQI group and the 249 patients of the control group, the predominant underlying kidney diseases were chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy. After implementation of the CQI initiative, the peritonitis rate declined to 1 episode in 77.25 patient–months from 1 episode in 22.86 patient–months. Ultrasound parameters of cardiac structure were generally unchanged in the CQI group, but significant increases in cardiothoracic ratio and interventricular septal thickness were observed in the control group (both p < 0.05). Patient survival at 1, 2, and 3 years was significantly higher in the CQI group (97.3%, 96.3%, and 96.3% respectively) than in the control group (92.6%, 82.4%, and 67.3% respectively, p < 0.001). Implementation of the CQI initiative also appeared to significantly improve technique survival rates: 95.6%, 92.6%, and 92.6% in the CQI group compared with 89.6%, 79.2%, and 76.8% in the control group ( p < 0.001) after 1, 2, and 3 years respectively.ConclusionIntegration of a CQI process into a PD program can significantly improve the quality of therapy and its outcomes.

Abstract:

Aim: The aim of the review was to examine the characteristics of studies that use CQI approaches to evaluate management development programs; and to synthesise the findings to understand how CQI approaches are being used to evaluate the effectiveness of management development programs. Method: A scoping review of the literature was conducted in a manner consistent with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The matches were screened by title and abstract using the inclusion criteria, leading to a full paper review of 48 papers. Of these, the 14 papers found to meet the inclusion criteria for the scoping review were independently reviewed and analysed by two of the authors. Findings: The review revealed the ways in which CQI approaches were used in evaluating management development programs highlighting the role of context, pre-determined competencies and participatory CQI approaches. Participatory CQI approaches including on-the-job application of learning provided opportunities for participants to learn through CQI activities associated with action learning and CQI feedback cycles. Conclusions: The authors concluded that evaluations using participatory CQI approaches are better positioned to report more comprehensively on the benefits of management development programs when they include the competencies required to be successful in the context within which the manager is working. Future directions for research in this area include an examination of the microsystem context to determine whether the required management competencies associated with remoteness differ from other contexts.

Abstract:

This paper presents the findings from a qualitative study, which sought to investigate the barriers and enablers to implementation of a continuous quality improvement (CQI) program by health-care professionals in Aboriginal primary health-care services in South Australia. Eighteen semi-structured interviews across 11 participating services were conducted alongside CQI implementation activities. Multiple barriers exist, from staff perspectives, which can be categorised according to different levels of the primary health-care system. At the macro level, barriers related to resource constraints (workforce issues) and access to project support (CQI coordinator). At the meso level, barriers related to senior level management and leadership for quality improvement and the level of organisational readiness. At the micro level, knowledge and attitudes of staff (such as resistance to change; lack of awareness of CQI) and lack of team tenure were cited as the main barriers to implementation. Staff identified that successful and sustained implementation of CQI requires both organisational systems and individual behaviour change. Improvements through continuing regional level collaborations and using a systems approach to develop an integrated regional level CQI framework, which includes building organisational and clinic team CQI capacity at the health centre level, are recommended. Ideally, this should be supported at the broader national level with dedicated funding.
