Full textAbstract:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, spreading all around the world and causing a worldwide pandemic, has lead to the collapse of the health systems of the most affected countries. Due to the ease of transmission, early prevention measures are proved to be fundamental to control the pandemic and, hence, the saturation of the health systems. Given the difficulty of obtaining characteristics of these systems of different countries and regions, it is necessary to define indicators based on basic information that enable the assessment of the evolution of the impact of a disease in a health system along with fair comparisons among different ones. This present paper introduces the Health Sufficiency Indicator (HSI), in its accumulated and daily versions. This indicator measures the additional pressure that a health care system has to deal with due to a pandemic. Hence, it allows to evaluate the capacity of a health system to give response to the corresponding needs arising from a pandemic and to compare the evolution of the disease among different regions. In addition, the Potential Occupancy Ratio (POR) in both its hospital ward bed and ICU bed versions is here introduced to asses the impact of the pandemic in the capacity of hospitals. These indicators and other well-known ones are applied to track the evolution of the impact of the disease on the Spanish health system during the first wave of the pandemic, both on national and regional levels. An international comparison among the most affected countries is also performed.

The work is devoted to the development of medical systems for monitoring biomedical indicators. The problem of developing a universal hardware software-controlled control system for the diagnosis of biological objects is solved. The main requirements for such a system are a wide range of functionality for combining different methods of measurement transformation and compliance with modern trends in the development of microelectronic sensors. Given the requirements for modern microcircuitry, in particular for sensing devices of the Internet of Things, the signal path of the sensors is implemented on the basis of PSoC family 5LP Family Cypress. Approbation of the developed system is carried out in the course of research of the character of optical radiation in the course of measurement of biomedical indicators.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe World Meteorological Organization has developed a set of headline indicators for global climate monitoring. These seven indicators are a subset of the existing set of essential climate variables (ECVs) established by the Global Climate Observing System and are intended to provide the most essential parameters representing the state of the climate system. These indicators include global mean surface temperature, global ocean heat content, state of ocean acidification, glacier mass balance, Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extent, global CO2 mole fraction, and global mean sea level. This paper describes how well each of these indicators are currently monitored, including the number and quality of the underlying datasets; the health of those datasets; observation systems used to estimate each indicator; the timeliness of information; and how well recent values can be linked to preindustrial conditions. These aspects vary widely between indicators. While global mean surface temperature is available in close to real time and changes from preindustrial levels can be determined with relatively low uncertainty, this is not the case for many other indicators. Some indicators (e.g., sea ice extent) are largely dependent on satellite data only available in the last 40 years, while some (e.g., ocean acidification) have limited underlying observational bases, and others (e.g., glacial mass balance) with data only available a year or more in arrears.

The development of the financial market and the transformation of the banking sector create a need for diagnostics of its financial security. This study is aimed at determining the level of the Ukrainian banking sector financial security in the event of decapitalization of the national economy. The paper uses multicomponent and behavioral analysis methods. The empirical study is based on Ukrainian data for 37 indicators by three components (for multicomponent analysis) and 23 indicators (for behavioral analysis). The study presents an improved algorithm for monitoring the level of Ukrainian banking sector’s financial security based on the calculation of the integral indicator. Only the system of “Financial results” indicators as the most significant component has relative independence from the other two components (“Financial stability” and “Macroeconomic stability”). According to assessments, in 2008–2017 Ukrainian banking sector’s financial security was 0,485-0,539; and in 2018 it became 0,626. The behavioral analysis of the partial integral indicator of the “Financial stability” component with the withdrawn assets located in offshore jurisdictions revealed the causal relation of the negative impact of capital outflow on the financial stability of the banking sector. This study has a practical value for determining the level of the banking sector financial security.

The paper deals with problematic nature of measuring of process performance. It includes a designed procedure of process performance monitoring, evaluation of logistic processes quality, and also measuring of the impact of marketing activities on the profitability of process output, i.e. a product, by means of appropriate indicator.There are several performance indicators that companies use to monitor the performance of their processes and business strategies with respect to their objectives. To monitor these indicators, enterprises rely on dashboards that present one or more indicators along with contextual information to help decision makers identify deviations and their root causes. Associated benefits related to the process performance measurement system can be seen, for example, in better decision-making, flexible human resource management and process management structures. By using rolled steel sheets in a large metallurgical plant as an example, there will be shown how the performance of the rolling process can be improved by monitoring the tangible financial indicator. Subsequently, the experience was from case management companies presented to further incorporate a practical view of implementation and related issues. Finally, the reasons why the organization prefers the observed indicator during implementation of the process performance of measurement system is explored in order to understand the causes and consequences.

The hypothesis of the study is that the new context of economic liberalization and globalization is characterized by rapid, profound and complex changes in the market environment in which business structures operate. Since, in today’s economic environment, market forces are becoming the main reason for the reorganization of entrepreneurial structures and the main indicator for assessing the advisability of restructuring entrepreneurial structures. The purpose of this article is to develop a system of marketing indicators for monitoring the reorganization of business structures and practical recommendations for the implementation of this system of indicators in the economic practice of economic systems. Statistical methods are used to identify the nature and nature of the development of marketing indicators and to determine whether there is a close relationship between marketing activities and the reorganization processes of the economic systems of modern Russia, trend and correlation analysis. Using these methods, the authors analyse the relationship between the intensity of reorganization processes and the competitiveness of the global economy, which are contained in the Russian Merger and Acquisition Market Review and the World Economic Forum. The study concluded that the research hypothesis was fully proven. Working on the basis of official dynamic statistical information on the example of modern Russia, it has been proved that the influence of marketing indicators on the processes of reorganization of business structures is strong. In addition, the feasibility of using an evaluation tool based on marketing indicators has been reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Business systems were selected for analysis and were reorganized in 2015. The proposed system of marketing monitoring indicators contributes to the development of the foundations of the modern marketing concept. Scientific value and novelty is represented by the developed author’s system of marketing indicators assessing the appropriateness of reorganization, as well as the results of comparative analysis of the results of the economic activity of restructured enterprises. The practical significance of the indicator system proposed by the authors lies in the establishment of an applied basis for assessing the appropriateness of reorganizing processes based on the evaluation of the marketing performance of business systems.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a global inclusive indicator framework for improving the population’s health, adapted to each country’s socio-political context. This study aimed to propose a national indicator framework for Iran as a reference list toward SDGs realisation in health and health-related. SDGs and three additional complementary frameworks (WHO Core Health Indicators, Action on Social Determinants of Health Core Indicators and Iranian National Health Equity Indicators) were selected to provide the theoretical base for the National Indicator Framework and to identify, compare, and select the potential indicators based on the country’s contextual needs and capacities. WHO’s “result chain pattern for heath core indicators classification” was used as a conceptual basis to facilitate identifying indicators and to link those to underlying country data systems and data gathering methods. After identifying the initial list of 181 indicators, senior informants from the Ministry of Health and Medical Education-related departments and other health-related organisations were consulted to reduce and verify the initial list. A National Indicator Framework for health monitoring in Iran has been developed to contain 101 indicators (including 12 input/ process indicators, 13 output indicators, 44 outcome indicators, and 32 impact indicators) organised within four domains of “health status”, “risk factors”, “service coverage” and “the health system”. This framework addresses the health core indicators gap identified in paragraph No. 3 under article NO.7 of the Law on Permanent Provisions of Country Development Programs. It will be used to notify policies and programs to improve the health system and population health status at the national level.

In the context of the aggravation of environmental problems, in particular those related to the use of forest resources, mineral and fuel and energy resources, the violation and degradation of natural ecosystems in large areas, it became necessary to preserve unique areas of the earth’s surface. Monitoring of protected areas is an effective tool for maintaining unique natural complexes in a high-quality condition, reducing the level of degradation of the components of the natural environment. Currently, specially protected natural areas of the Tyumen region are experiencing high anthropogenic loads associated with industrial, tourism, and investment activities. To develop a methodology for monitoring the lands of unique natural complexes and objects of the Tyumen region, the main factors that have a negative impact on natural complexes are identified.

The city of Portland’s Traffic System Performance Evaluation (TSPE) system is an innovative, practical, and cost-effective tool for monitoring traffic system performance in response to federal, state, and local legislation. It has been designed, implemented, and applied using readily available traffic data. The TSPE goes beyond traditional level-of-service analysis and gives the city a means to identify operational deficiencies and provide a baseline for future performance monitoring. The TSPE includes five performance indicators that were crafted in response to questions about traffic performance and in recognition of the costs and availability of data to support performance evaluation. Each of the five indicators addresses a specific element of traffic performance. District accessibility measures the ease of access to and egress from major activity centers by examining the delay at gateway intersections. The street origin-destination characteristics indicator assesses the percentage of nonlocal trips on streets with different functional classifications. Travel time is measured on a set of specific routes between activity centers. The traffic flow indicator assesses the variation in speeds on major roadways. The multimodal service levels indicator assesses multimodal operational performance based on service levels for four different transportation modes (vehicular, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian) along a corridor. The system has proved to be relatively easy and inexpensive to apply. Other jurisdictions developing performance evaluation systems should consider integrating some components of the TSPE system.

Abstract This paper chooses the monthly real growth rate of industrial added values, which have been released by the China National Bureau of Statistics, as the benchmark indicator. By using the large quantity of collected data, the actual value of indicators is obtained through deflating them by price index. Based on this result, 26 indicators from various areas of the economy are regarded as China’s macro economic prosperity indicators via methods such as K-L approach, time difference correlation analysis as well as grading system, which correspond well with the fluctuation of benchmark indicator. Furthermore, this paper analyzes and forecasts the economic growth rate cycle of China by composite index and early warning signal system.

Introduction To address challenges Canadians face within their food environments, a comprehensive, multistakeholder, intergovernmental approach to policy development is essential. Food environment indicators are needed to assess population status and change. The Ontario Food and Nutrition Strategy (OFNS) integrates the food, agriculture and nutrition sectors, and aims to improve the health of Ontarians through actions that promote healthy food systems and environments. This report describes the process of identifying indicators for 11 OFNS action areas in two strategic directions (SDs): Healthy Food Access, and Food Literacy and Skills. Methods The OFNS Indicators Advisory Group used a five-step process to select indicators: (1) potential indicators from national and provincial data sources were identified; (2) indicators were organized by SD, action area and data type; (3) selection criteria were identified, pilot tested and finalized; (4) final criteria were applied to refine the indicator list; and (5) indicators were prioritized after reapplication of selection criteria. Results Sixty-nine potential indicators were initially identified; however, many were individual-level rather than system-level measures. After final application of the selection criteria, one individual-level indicator and six system-level indicators were prioritized in five action areas; for six of the action areas, no indicators were available. Conclusion Data limitations suggest that available data may not measure important aspects of the food environment, highlighting the need for action and resources to improve system-level indicators and support monitoring of the food environment and health in Ontario and across Canada.

During the current COVID-19 epidemic, IoT-based health monitoring devices could be incredibly useful for COVID-19 sufferers. This study develops an IoT-based system for real-time health monitoring that incorporates the patient's measured body temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation, which are the most important critical care indicators. A liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the current temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation level, which can be easily linked with a mobile application for quick access. Using an Arduino Uno-based device, the recommended IoT-based technique was tested and verified on five human test subjects. The system's results were promising: the data collected by the system was saved fast. The system's results were found to be accurate when compared to other commercially available devices. IoT-based gadgets could be immensely valuable in saving people's lives during the COVID-19 epidemic.

According to the stages of the banking system stability monitoring, the analysis of caus¬al links is used to identify the causes of the crisis trends spreading and the rationale for the most effective levers of regulatory influence on the banking system parameters by the central bank.The research is based on the use of the canonical correlation method for structuring causal links between the indicators for the assessment of the banking system stability, which are grouped into four sub-indices (assessing the intensity of credit and financial interaction in the interbank market, the effectiveness of the banking system functions, structural changes and financial disproportions in the banking system, activities of systemically important banks); the method of regression analysis and the calculation of elasticity coefficients is also used to assess the sensitivity of the banking system stability to changes in parameters that characterize the banking regulation instruments.The article analyzes the results of quantitative and qualitative assessment of the banking system stability (comparison of actual results of the evaluation with the data for previous years and comparison of values of stability indicators with critical values). The causes of detected deviations are determined taking into account the results of applying the canonical correlations method. Regression models have been constructed to confirm the dependence of the banking system stability index on the change in parameters that characterize banking regulation instruments, and to determine the most effective of them. Practical testing of submitted proposals is realized based on the Ukrainian banking system indicators for 2007–2016.

Occupational safety is the prevention and elimination of dangers and hazards that can cause workplace injuries, occupational and other diseases and damage to the employees’ health. According to the modern concept, it implies constant monitoring of the situation with the aim to explore ways and design measures for the improvement of an occupational health and safety system. An effective way to monitor the situation in an occupational health and safety system is to define performance or success indicators, whereas, in practice, the most commonly used tool is occupational safety indicators. Indicators of work-related injuries can be absolute and relative. Since absolute indicators do not provide a realistic image of the state of workplace safety, we shall use relative indicators. A relative indicator of occupational safety often used is the injury frequency index. This indicator was obtained as the ratio of the number of injuries and effective working hours over the observation period or the number of employees in the production and business system. Also, the same indicator can be calculated in relation to the volume of production.In the forestry sector, where occupational injuries are frequent and often fatal, monitoring indicators of occupational injuries allows us to see the movement of the observed phenomenon (occupational safety) in a certain period, and also to determine the general trend of its movement (decline or growth) and most importantly to develop preventive measures. In addition, the analysis of workplace injuries using the indicators enables the comparison of occupational safety in business systems from the same activity and, thus, foster the transfer of know-how and good practice from the systems with high levels of occupational safety.

Abstract. The authors noted that in order to increase the energy-saturated equipment technical readiness, reduce its operation costs and ensure full use of the resource, it is necessary to quickly assess the current technical condition. The authors have created a counter-indicator prototype for high-precision control of gearbox technical condition. (Research purpose) To formulate a proposal for developing a system for the remote monitoring of gearbox technical condition applicable to the Kirovets tractor family. (Materials and methods) To increase the precision level of traceability and technical condition detection, a system of diagnostic tools was proposed based on the developed counters-indicators, which take into account design features when determining diagnostic parameters. (Results and discussion) It was shown that to assess the gearbox technical condition, it is necessary to use additional monitoring systems, obtain information for calculating the residual life, when using direct measurements and having a possibility of the ongoing monitoring over the actual change in the gearbox units diagnostic parameters. The authors studied the options for using meter-indicators to minimize group II and III failures during operation.(Conclusions) It was identified that in order to increase the level of gearbox operational reliability, it is necessary to introduce a system of counters-indicators. The authors revealed the possibility of monitoring the individual unit technical condition in accordance with the specified indicators, as well as in order to prevent operation in emergency (abnormal) modes.

The article examines the systems of risks of various types of financial institutions and focuses on the absence of the risk of legalization among them. This risk is considered separately within the framework of a special system of relations in the field of combating money laundering, financing of terrorism and financing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The evolution of criteria for assessing the risk of a financial institution to be involved in legalization is analyzed, risk-oriented indicators of the activities of financial institutions used to assess their risk profile are generalized. It is established that one of the regulators in the financial services market, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission, uses outdated, formal, and ineffective criteria for assessing the risks of a financial institution to be involved in money laundering. However, the other regulator, the NBU, has already carried out the process of adapting state financial monitoring to the requirements of FATF and AMLD4 and developed risk-oriented indicators of financial institutions’ activities, used to assess their risk profile. Strengthening the control by the subjects of state financial monitoring over the risk profile of a financial institution and its overall financial monitoring system will help to increase the efficiency of state financial monitoring. It is proposed to unify risk-oriented features and introduce identical financial monitoring mechanisms for all participants in the financial services markets, considering the specifics of their activities, as well as including the risk of legalization in the risk system of a financial institution in order to improve the efficiency of the financial monitoring system.

In this paper we consider two accessibility indicators, namely E-RAB (E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearer) and E-RRC (Evolved Radio Resource Control) failure rates, of the LTE-A communication network belonging to one of the regional operators in Russian Federation. The aim of this study is to find the proper algorithms for accessibility indicators prediction, and performance estimation of these algorithms. During the study, we provide temporal dynamics of the indicators and possible failure reasons, behind these indicators. Then the percentage of the time series values is shown, which are corresponding to the abnormal situations (incidents). After that, the stationarity of the inspected time series using augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADFuller), and Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) methods is analyzed. Next, the ETS decomposition is performed. In order to predict the future values of the indicators, we utilize SARIMA model, triple Exponential Smoothing (Holt-Winters method), Facebook Prophet, Prony decomposition based model and XGBoost algorithm. Performance estimation is obtained in two ways: by test-sequence- and cross-validation-based Median Absolute Error (MAE). Also, the architecture for the monitoring system, that collects, analyzes and visualizes the required metrics within the infrastructure of the considered operator, is proposed in this paper. Herein, we analyze the possibilities of the open-source solution deployment on each stage of the monitoring process from data mining and preparation up to predictive model learning.

Abstract Introduction In recent decades, the Ministry of Health has been recommending the use of indicators for the assessment and monitoring of health care. Over the years, it has instituted interfederative pacts dealing with health indicators, including oral health indicators, with the purpose of encouraging health system managers to incorporate the monitoring and assessment of actions in their practice, as well as enabling the follow-up of the performance of services. Objective To analyze the development of oral health indicators propounded in the interfederative pacts of the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil between 1998 and 2016. Material and method Documentary research based on government guidelines issued during the analyzed period. The variables studied were the characteristics of publications and indicators (denomination, method of calculation, source and purposes). Result In the period of 1998-2016, oral health indicators were proposed in the pact on primary care indicators (1998-2006), in the Pacts for Health (2007-2011), and in the resolutions of the tripartite intermanagerial committee (2012, 2013 and 2016). Changes were identified over this period, characterized by the inclusion and exclusion of indicators, and by a drastic reduction in the number of indicators, eventually leading to only one retained indicator: “Proportion of tooth extractions in relation to procedures.” Conclusion There were changes in oral health indicators over the analyzed period, characterized by periods of advancement and regression, eventually resulting in a single indicator related to mutilating actions (tooth extractions), effective in 2016.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to prove the concept of the performance monitoring system of container terminals. PoC (Proof of Concept) is a realization of a certain method or idea in order to demonstrate its feasibility. The port authorities, such as government or local authority, are continually checking the performance of the terminals they invested in and want to reflect it in the development policy. They also want to increase competitiveness by checking performance levels, such as port handling volume, calling ships, resource utilization, and congestion. PPI (Port performance indicators) are classified into four categories: output (production), productivity, utilization, and service. In this study, 15 monitoring indicators for each stage by dividing the process from the ship’s entry to departure are defined. Four indicators, such as ship waiting ratio at anchorage, berth occupancy, storage occupancy, and truck turnaround time, are selected as PoC of monitoring platform. In addition, a method of collecting, processing, and expressing data on these four indicators in real time is presented. There are three steps to create PPI on monitoring platform. The information required for PPI is to be collected from the Port-MIS (Management Information System) and TOS (Terminal Operating System) databases. Second, the collected data from external entities are stored into the database after verification and classification. Third, descriptive PPI, predictive PPI are generated based on the input data. This study provides a 4-tier framework from the conceptual platform with the key elements of data presentation, data process and data interface and middleware. As a result of the study, it is proved to select monitoring indicators, define external entities, define internal elements of the system, develop systems, and present indicator results. However, in the process of collecting data outside the system, we have found there is confidential data of individual terminals. To this end, it is important to establish a mutual cooperation system for data collection.

Full textAbstract:
With the continuous improvement of the national medical system, health monitoring combined with cloud computing and Internet of Things has become a concern. This study mainly discusses the design of the medical health monitoring IoT system based on cloud computing. From the user to the health service provider, there are three devices: sensor terminal, gateway terminal, and service platform. The sensor terminal is used to measure physiological indicators, such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and other physiological indicators; the gateway terminal is used to link the sensor terminal to receive physiological indicators and forward them to the business platform; the gateway is also used to receive health information and other instructions issued by the server. In the community service mode, users can be divided into groups according to the community and region, and the corresponding service doctors and agent customer service personnel (nurses) can be assigned. Users can collect personal physiological indicators at home or outside through the medical terminal. These indicators and information are transmitted to the background health platform system through the mobile GSM-TD communication network. Users can also view their own historical health records and opinions of health consultants through the web/WAP website. Through the integration ability of the health cloud platform, relying on the interconnection with HIS, LIS, and other information systems of professional medical institutions, we jointly operate special value-added services, such as appointment registration, maternal and child healthcare, and medical communication (doctor-patient interaction), so that users can enjoy the remote service and guidance of professional medical institutions by subscribing to health value-added services. The CPU utilization rate is 40%, the internal utilization rate is 7.44 G, the memory utilization rate is 11.8%, and the network bandwidth is 591.87 M. During the whole test process, the indicators are stable, and there are no restart, crash, and other phenomena, so the system performance meets the design requirements.

Full textAbstract:
An increase in the incidence of water-borne human diseases, such as diarrhea and emesis, has occurred due to drinking polluted water. These water-borne diseases can lead to death, if correct treatment is not provided. Assuring that drinking water quality is safe has been a crucial challenge for public health. Water contamination with pathogenic microorganisms represents a seriously increased threat to human health. Currently, different microorganisms are being used as the primary indicator to assess water quality total coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) being the most common. However, increasing the occurrence of water-borne illness from sources deemed safe by the microbial standard criteria has raised the question—are these microbial indicators reliable and sensitive enough to ensure water quality? Currently, other microorganisms including bacteria, enteric virus, and protozoa are being tested and used in different countries as alternative indicators to monitor water quality. It is necessary to study the diverse water quality indicator systems used throughout the world and their efficacy with the present water quality. Although water quality standards suggest adding pathogenic microorganisms such as enteric virus as an indicator, China only uses pathogenic E. coli, protozoa. Pin-pointing the shortage of the current water quality indicator system in China is crucial in order to propose changes in future water quality indicator systems.

Abstract: Introduction: The indicator-based performance monitoring and pay-for-performance system for Hungarian primary care was established in 2009, covering the whole country. It is based on a stable legal system and well operating information technology. Although, the health insurance system is able to facilitate the performance improvement only by the financing for general medical practices, the many times modified present system does not take into consideration (apart from the geographical location of practices) factors which determine the performance but cannot be influenced by general practitioners. Aim: The study aimed at renewing the indicator set and evaluation methodology in order to enable the monitoring to evaluate the performance of general medical practices independent of their structural characteristics. Method: Each adult care specific primary care performance indicator from June 2016 covering the whole country has been investigated. Indicators adjusted for structural practice characteristics (age and gender of patients; relative education of people provided; settlement type and county of the practice) have been computed. The difference between adjusted indicators and national reference values has been evaluated by statistical testing. Appropriateness of the present monitoring and financing system has been investigated by comparing the practice level presently applied and adjusted indicators to outline the opportunities to develop the present system. Results: The present monitoring allocates 34.46% of pay-for-performance resources for improving the performance of practices. The majority of resources supports the conservation of performance. Furthermore, the present system is not able to identify each practice with better than reference performance, withholding amount corresponding to 8.83% of pay-for-performance resources. If this financing were restricted to practices with significantly better than reference performance, the maximum of the financing a month in a practice would increase from 176 042 HUF (551 EURO) to 406 604 HUF (1274 EURO). Conclusion: Completing the performance monitoring system operated at present by the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary with indicators adjusted for structural characteristics of the general medical practices, the resource allocation effectiveness could be improved.

Full textAbstract:
Background Establishment of a systematic way of measurement and utilization of indicators for improvement is one of the most challenging issues in monitoring and evaluation of indicators in healthcare settings. In realizing these fundamental challenges, we designed a monitoring and evaluation system incorporating a hospital-wide quality variance report (QVR) system using linked Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets on Microsoft SharePoint®. Methods Indicators were determined at the departmental/unit level in line with the institutional goals, departmental functions, quality expectations, inputs/outputs, clinical priorities, compliance to policies/procedures/protocols/guidelines/pathways as well as in response to gaps in service delivery picked during root cause analyses. The sample design was determined in accordance with the characteristics of the population. Drawing of sample units was done using a simple random sampling technique without replacement or systematic random sampling. The indicator’s monitoring was enhanced visually by allocating colour codes based on performance across the months and quarters. The action plan tab consisted of a platform that aids in documenting corrective actions arising from the performance reviews. Results and discussion The QVR reporting system ensured a standardized format of monitoring throughout the institution with a reduced turnaround time from data collection to analysis. Further, continuity of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system was guaranteed even if an individual left the institution. The analysis of the QVR allowed hospital-wide trending on cross-cutting indicators with consequent ease of communication to multiple stakeholders. The automation has saved time and increased accuracy which has enhanced credible engagements during quality meetings. Conclusions Use of this system greatly enhanced quality performance monitoring in the hospital, identification of major bottlenecks that warranted hospital-wide projects or departmental-level projects. The QVR system enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of quality monitoring from data collection through to performance reviews. The QVR structure allows for customized development of an M&E database application software.

Clinical outcome indicators are used to identify opportunities for improvement in patient care processes. This paper focuses on issues specific to the selection of clinical outcome indicators for use in assessing performance within and between hospitals. The issues and examples are based on the experiences of a university research team that worked in collaboration with a group of teaching hospitals to develop and monitor clinical outcome indicators. Four sets of issues are discussed: the intended use, and end users of indicator information; aspects of indicator validity; data quality; and dissemination and use of indicator information. Recommendations are made that apply to individual hospitals, groups of hospitals and health care systems.

It was aimed to propose a methodology for implementing a performance indicator system in a beef cattle company. Strategic goals and prioritization of process previously performed in the company was used as a support to the implementation. Possible indicators were listed and confronted with occasional restraints to its implementation and further analyzed by the Balanced Score Card (BSC) point of view. Subsequently, indicators were individually analyzed and their relationship with the company's strategic goals was determined. Seventeen indicators were selected, two under financial perspective, nine under process perspective, four under customer perspective, and two under development and learning perspective. The relationship analysis showed that the indicators support appropriate monitoring of the critical processes to achieve the strategic goals, thereby consolidating the management system.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Good-quality data is required for valid and reliable key performance indicators. Little is known of the facilitators and barriers of capturing the required data for emergency department key performance indicators. This study aimed to explore and understand how current emergency department data collection systems relevant to emergency department key performance indicators are integrated into routine service delivery, and to identify the resources required to capture these data elements. Methods: Following pilot testing, we conducted two focus groups with a multi-disciplinary panel of 14 emergency department stakeholders drawn from urban and rural emergency departments, respectively. Focus groups were analyzed using Attride–Stirling’s framework for thematic network analysis. Results: The global theme “Understanding facilitators and barriers for emergency department data collection systems” emerged from three organizing themes: “understanding current emergency department data collection systems”; “achieving the ideal emergency department data capture system for the implementation of emergency department key performance indicators”; and “emergency department data capture systems for performance monitoring purposes within the wider context”. Conclusion: The pathways to improving emergency department data capture systems for emergency department key performance indicators include upgrading emergency department information systems and investment in hardware technology and data managers. Educating stakeholders outside the emergency department regarding the importance of emergency department key performance indicators as hospital-wide performance indicators underpins the successful implementation of valid and reliable emergency department key performance indicators.

Background Electronic Health Record Systems (EHRs) are being rolled out nationally in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) yet assessing actual system usage remains a challenge. We employed a nominal group technique (NGT) process to systematically develop high-quality indicators for evaluating actual usage of EHRs in LMICs. Methods An initial set of 14 candidate indicators were developed by the study team adapting the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting indicators format. A multidisciplinary team of 10 experts was convened in a two-day NGT workshop in Kenya to systematically evaluate, rate (using Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART) criteria), prioritize, refine, and identify new indicators. NGT steps included introduction to candidate indicators, silent indicator ranking, round-robin indicator rating, and silent generation of new indicators. 5-point Likert scale was used in rating the candidate indicators against the SMART components. Results Candidate indicators were rated highly on SMART criteria (4.05/5). NGT participants settled on 15 final indicators, categorized as system use (4); data quality (3), system interoperability (3), and reporting (5). Data entry statistics, systems uptime, and EHRs variable concordance indicators were rated highest. Conclusion This study describes a systematic approach to develop and validate quality indicators for determining EHRs use and provides LMICs with a multidimensional tool for assessing success of EHRs implementations.

The development of the Safety Management System (SMS) in chemical industry appears as one of the important requirements introduced by the EU 'Seveso II' Directive on the control of major-accident hazards. This paper aims to provide a contribution regarding the SMS structure and the definition of the tools for assessing the effectiveness of this system by means of safety performance indicators. The performance indicators are linked to a reference values or policy targets, illustrating how far the SMS is from the desired level. We developed a system of performance indicators for SMS in chemical industry by using the concept of environmental performance indicators defined in standard ISO 14031. A set of three types of safety system performance indicators was proposed: management performance indicators, operational performance indicators and safety status indicators. These indicators represent the most important factors in the linkage between a possible cause of an accident and its effects.

Sustainable forest management ideally involves five elements: 1) establishing a clear set of values, goals and objectives and, 2) planning actions that are most likely to meet desired goals and objectives, 3) implementing appropriate management activities, 4) monitoring the outcomes to check on predictions, effectiveness, and assumptions, and 5) evaluating and adjusting management depending on the outcome of monitoring. Within this framework, indicators are used to determine whether the outcome of management has met the intended goals. In this paper we provide general guidance for developing an integrated and logical monitoring system, define and differentiate between "evaluative" and "prescriptive" indicators, provide more specific advice on choosing evaluative indicators (including a comparison of types of ecological indicators), and provide specific advice on defining prescriptive indicators. Our guidelines for developing an indicator and monitoring framework are based on three principles. The first principle is to develop a logical framework, including 1) establishing clear values and goals before setting indicators and objectives, and 2) linking prescriptive and evaluative indicators directly to plan objectives, and to each other. The second principal is to use the framework to learn adaptively by: 1) designing management activities to address specific questions, 2) learning about thresholds, and 3) testing assumptions. The third principal is to create a formal plan for learning. Key words: biodiversity, indicators, focal species, adaptive learning, sustainable forest management

Methodological foundations of the personalized acoustic monitoring of the occupational safety in industry are stated. Developed personalized acoustic environment indicators of hazard are described. They ensure real-time monitoring and assessment of hazard of the acoustic environment in the entire standardized frequency range of industrial and transport noise. Typical personalized indicator of hazard of the acoustic environment consists of a meter, a signal and information board, a microprocessor, a switch, permanent and operational memory devices, various blocks: power supply, amplifiers, filters, detection, control, information input-output. The requirements are formulated for personalized indicators of hazard of an acoustic environment. Implementation of the above requirements will ensure correct calculation of the health and performance risks caused by the exposure of employees to acoustic factors. The features of using these indicators of hazard of an acoustic environment with the means of individual and collective protection against noise are determined. New possibilities for optimizing the use of such tools are shown — based on the methodological foundations of personalized acoustic monitoring developed by the authors. Development and implementation of a set of organizational and medical-technical measures using acoustic indicators will allow to ensure preservation of the personnel health, performance, and trouble-free operation in the conditions of occupational and industrial noise. Interfacing of medical acoustic control systems at the enterprises with the unified system «Russian State Medical and Dosimetric Register» will allow at the federal level to implement the accumulation of objective information about the effect of acoustic factors on the enterprise employee for the sake of preservation of health, professional longevity and ensuring occupational safety.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we describe a new method of graphically presenting rangeland monitoring data as coded time-mark continuums. This method aims to provide people with an interest in rangelands (stakeholders) with succinct information, which they need to assess rangeland condition and change. This new method graphs data for indicators of rangeland condition as time or T-marks along gradients or continuums. The ends of these continuums are reference points, which are values for indicators defining highly functional to very dysfunctional rangeland systems. The T-marks for an indicator along its continuum are also coded as to how changes relate to combinations of recent seasonal conditions and longer-term management effects. Codes are based on a two-way matrix combining ‘seasonal quality’ (e.g. rainfall in a specified period relative to the long-term record) and expected responses from land management (i.e. increase, decrease or no change relative to that predicted from seasonal quality). Monitoring data available in the Australian Collaborative Rangeland Information System were used to illustrate the use of coded T-mark continuums. We show succinctly how one indicator changed in two different rangeland regions and how multiple indicators changed within one region.

Full textAbstract:
Bacteria monitoring is a critical part of wastewater management. At tropical wastewater stabilization ponds (WSPs) in north Australia, sanitation is assessed using the standard fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) Escherichia coli and Enterococci. However, these bacteria are poor surrogates for enteric pathogens. A focus on FIB misses the majority of pond-bacteria and how they respond to the tropical environment. Therefore, we aimed to identify the unknown pond bacteria and indicators that can complement E. coli to improve monitoring. Over two years, we measured the bacterial community in 288 wastewater samples during the wet and dry seasons. The WSP community was spatially and temporally dynamic. Standard pond-water physicochemical measures like conductivity poorly explained these community shifts. Cyanobacteria represented >6% of the WSP bacterial population, regardless of sample timing and location. Fecal bacteria were abundant in the first pond. However, in downstream ponds, these bacteria were less abundant, and instead, environmental taxa were common. For each pond, we identified a bacterial fingerprint that included new candidate bacterial indicators of fecal waste and processes like nitrogen removal. Combining the new indicators with standard FIB monitoring represents a locally relevant approach to wastewater monitoring that facilitates new tests for human fecal pollution within tropical climates.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is both a continuation to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and an improvement on the addition of ‘means of implementation’ to achieve the goals. The SDGs recognize that countries should have their own ways to achieve development goals. In this regard, Thailand, through its ‘sufficiency economy philosophy’ (SEP) invented by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, has created a unique path to attain sustainable development. The SEP path involves (a) shaping personal attitudes and behaviors towards sufficiency and (b) setting procedures or protocols for development projects and programmes. In this paper, we developed a system of indicators that capture the first component—personal attitudes and behaviors—of the sufficiency economy philosophy practiced by Thai people, as well as a set of ultimate development outcome indicators, using data from nation-wide household and community surveys. We then analyze how practicing the sufficiency economy philosophy is associated with development outcomes, where we find positive correlation between the two groups of indicators.

Quantitative methods and calculating procedures for each indicator and dynamic weight were also given in this paper. Finally, in order to prove the practical value of the evaluation system designed in this study, five cities in China were selected for application. The results showed that the indicator system can not only accurately quantify the disaster prevention capability of the urban park system, but also discover the shortcomings in the process of urban park system construction, which has strong theoretical and practical value
