This paper reports the results of a study which investigated the impact of quality assurance on 13 suppliers to the nuclear industry. The purpose of the study was to determine the benefits and problems of applying quality assurance in the supply of high risk plant items and material for nuclear installations. The paper discusses the problems facing the industry including: multiple audits and inspections, the irritation with having to contend with two quality system standards (namely BS 5750 and BS 5882) and the cost effectiveness of the more stringent quality system and quality control surveillance requirements imposed by the nuclear industry. It is also pointed out that companies supplying non-nuclear industrial customers were dissatisfied with the qualifications, experience and professional competence of some auditors and many inspectors.

As PACS gains widespread use, the importance of Quality Control (QC), Quality Assurance (QA), and Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in PACS is rising. The purpose of QC/QA is to measure the quality and performance of a PACS for minimizing the chance of getting any avoidable risk. However, in the real world, there is still some risk in any complicated system. Therefore, BCP is used to reduce the impact and downtime of hospital PACS system operation due to changes or failures in the company operation procedure. The purpose of BCP is to make sure that the critical part of PACS system operation is not affected by critical failure or disaster.

Data integrity refers to data reliability throughout the data lifecycle. Terminology “ALCOA” means that the data should be attributable, legible, contemporaneously recorded, original, and accurate. “ALCOA Plus” was introduced later. Violation of the integrity of data is termed as a breach of data integrity. It can take place in various fields, but not limited to manufacturing, quality control (QC), quality assurance (QA), and research. Some of the reasons for breach in data integrity are fabrication or duplication of data, out of specification, out of trend, back-dating, manipulation of data, inadequate standard operating procedures (SOPs), common usernames, and shared passwords. A study to assess the impact of data integrity violations based on the US FDA warning letters was conducted. The majority of data integrity breaches belonged to QC. The frequency of letters based on the country has been presented in the form of a graph. China and India received the highest number of letters for breach of data integrity in the year 2018 and 2017 respectively. It can be concluded that it is important to enforce data integrity and develop strategies for the same. The study is beneficial to understand the reason, affected field of work and remediation methods for data integrity, and improve regulatory compliance.

Aims and background To evaluate the impact of immobilization devices in reducing treatment errors and delivering high doses to limited target volumes. The clear advantages are matched with quality control necessity. Methods The Authors examine two fundamental aspects of the topic:1) the immobilization of head and neck and the relative implications in reducing the skin-sparing at the build-up region; 2) the rationale and management of quality assurance procedures in the immobilization devices utilization, with a particular reference to pelvic radiation treatment. Conclusions The immobilization devices utilization certainly leads to an optimization in the execution of radiation treatments. Nevertheless, in the choice for their routine use, the Authors suggest to follow some “conceptual rules” with the aim of successfully matching each of the discussed aspects connected with their utilization.
