ABSTRACT Accreditation is an integral part of quality and it is not a onetime process. This study was done to know the extent to which hospitals maintain the standards after obtaining accreditation. This study tries to find out the gaps in standards during the postaccreditation period. The objective of the study was to assess the policies of the intensive care unit (ICU) with reference to standard protocols of the National Accreditation Board for Hospital and Health Care Providers (NABH) and measures taken by the management to maintain the standards. Data was collected from a 285-bedded NABH-accredited hospital that had five ICUs and four recovery rooms by means of nonparticipant observation, semistructured interviews. Data on indicators was collected by using the hospital management information system; the questionnaire on satisfaction was filled by 30 patients/relatives who were admitted in the ICU for more than a week. Quality team was interviewed to know the perception of the management toward quality and accreditation. To know the compliance of the staff to the NABH standards, a surprise check was done in three ICUs of the hospital. Data analysis showed that the organization was not able to maintain the standards, as it had done at the time of accreditation. The quality team strongly accepted that accreditation helps in maintaining and improving quality, whereas the data from ICUs showed a wide variation in compliance. Three ICUs from the same hospital were having different compliance rates for standards, which shows that staff was not aware about the standard protocol to be followed. The patient-satisfaction questionnaire also showed that the patients were not satisfied with the services given. How to cite this article Tadia VK, Monalisa, Dubey S.

"Background. Clinical ethics consultation has been implemented in many health care institutions. Different methods exist for their evaluation. In this paper we present findings from an evaluation of 21 documentation conducted 2019-2020 by means of the Ethics Consultation Quality Assessment Tool (ECQAT). The applicability of the instrument was analyzed based on a) duration of use, b) ease of use, c) comprehensibility of the items. Results. On average, the analysis with the ECQAT takes 11 minutes per protocol. The greatest difficulties in applying the ECQAT arise a) in assessing the counselling-related information and b) in assessing the ethical analysis as well as the recommendations. Here, different demands on the level of detail of the information may lead to different assessments. Furthermore, the transitions of the ethical analysis and the recommendations, which are relevant for the assessment, could not be delimited exactly in parts of the protocols. Discussion. The assessment of documentation represents a limited part of the quality of ethics consultation. In particular, the quality dimensions of the EQAT do not map communicative elements of process quality, which are essential components (if not the core) of ethics consultations. Moreover, the assessment is strongly depending on the format of the protocols, which, depending on the institution, range from a brief overview of the results to a detailed account. Even in light of aforementioned limitations the ECQAT provides an incentive to improve the process quality of (documented) ethics consultation. "

Quality In Healthcare

The main goal of therapeutic rehabilitation is to provide services that develop, maintain or restore mobility and functionality to the fullest extent possible throughout the patient’s life. This process should involve setting real goals both for the person who has mobility and functionality impairment as well as in the records of relevant therapeutic programme objectives. In evaluating this process, quality indicators can be used as ‘tools’ and they may also be used as parameters for quantitative characterization of healthcare processes and outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to systematise existing knowledge about quality in healthcare in the context of therapeutic rehabilitation, presenting a possible assessment of the level and degree of completion of goals through quality indicators.

Der Fachbeitrag beleuchtet die Entwicklung einer standardisierten Prüfkette mittels Test-Artefakten zur Post-Prozess-Qualitätsbeurteilung additiv gefertigter Bauteile. Das erlaubt eine Evaluierung der Maschinen- und Prozessfähigkeit des selektiven Laserstrahlschmelzens (SLM), wodurch prozessbedingte Limitierungen aufgezeigt und Fertigungsgenauigkeiten verbessert werden können. Die Charakterisierung einer geeigneten Artefakt-Referenzgeometrie sowie optische Analysen der Maßhaltigkeit mittels Streifenlichtprojektion stehen hierbei im Vordergrund.   This paper illustrates the development of a standardized approach by test-artefacts to analyze the process-quality assessment of additive manufactured workpieces. Thus an evaluation of the machine and process capability of the selective laser melting (SLM) is ensured to identify process-related limitations and to improve production accuracies. The characterization of a suitable artifact reference geometry, as well as optical analysis of the dimensional accuracy by fringe projection will be aspired.
