The limitation or elimination of the competence gap can be achieved by applying a broad spectrum of assessment methods, including methods allowing to diagnose: manager’s competence profile, progress in achieving objectives, quality of work as well as manager’s utility in a workplace and allowing to develop a  manager career path. For the purpose of the article it was assumed that the variety of applied methods creates the conditions for obtaining a comprehensive and objective assessment of the owned and used managerial competences in the current activity. The aim of the article was to present methods for diagnosing the competences of management staff and to show the scope of their use in the practice of enterprises.

Introduction: Recruitment and retention of healthcare staff are difficult in rural communities. Poor quality of work life (QWL) may be an underling factor as rural healthcare professionals are often isolated and work with limited resources. However, QWL data on rural emergency (ED) staff is limited. We assessed QWL among nurses and physicians as part of an ongoing study on ED care in Québec. Methods: We selected EDs offering 24/7 medical coverage, with hospitalization beds, in rural or small towns (Stats Canada definition). Of Québec’s 26 rural EDs, 23 (88%) agreed to participate. The online Quality of Work Life Systemic Inventory (QWLSI, with 1 item per 34 “life domains”), was sent to all non-locum ED nurses and physicians (about 500 potential participants). The QWLSI is used for comparing QWL scores to those of a large international database. We present overall and subscale QWL scores as percentiles (PCTL) of scores in the large database, and comparisons of nurses’ and physicians’ scores (t test). Results: Thirty-three physicians and 84 nurses participated. Mean age was 39.8 years (SD=10.1): physicians=37 (7.7) and nurses=40.9 (10.7). Overall QWL scores for all were in the 32nd PCTL, i.e. low. Nurses were in the 28th PCTL and physicians in the 44nd (p>0.05). For both groups, QWL was below the 25th PCTL i.e. very low, for “sharing workload during absence of an employee”, “working equipment”, “flexibility of work schedule”, “impact of working hours on health”, “possibility of being absent for familial reasons”, “relations with employees”. The groups differed (p<0.05) on only two subscales: remuneration and career path. For remuneration, scores were similar on fringe benefits (nurses 22nd PCTL, physicians 32nd) and income security (nurses 72nd, physicians 74th), but differed on income level (nurses 74th, physicians 93rd). The groups differed on all 3 career path items: advancement possibilities (nurses 53th, physicians 91st), possibilities for transfer (nurses 51nd, physicians 84th) and continuing education (nurses 18th, physicians 49th). Conclusion: Overall QWL among rural ED staff is poor. Groups had similar QWL scores except on career path, with physicians perceiving better long-term prospects. Given difficulties in rural recruitment and retention, these findings suggest that QWL should be assessed in rural and urban EDs nationwide.

We propose and substantiate criteria of objective assessment of quality of work of medical staff in a hospital facility in order to restrict a length of inpatient treatment, to improve work of a doctor and a whole department and to achieve adequate material stimulation and appropriate wages. The criteria consider economic, medical and social aspects, allow computerized analysis of a doctor's and a department work, systematic analysis on clinical conferences and disclosure of factors worsening the quality of inpatients treatment.

Objective Feedback

Training and assessment methods for knot tying by medical students or residents have traditionally been subjective. Objective methods for evaluating creation of a tied knot should include assessing the strength and quality of the knotted suture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a tensiometer as a feedback device for improving knot-tying performance. Twelve medical students with no knot-tying experience were selected to perform three-throw instrument ties with 00 silk suture. Students were randomly assigned to perform between 10 and 20 baseline knots and then received one of four feedback training conditions followed by 10 completion knots. Subjects were timed, and all knots were pulled in the tensiometer to assess for strength and slippage. Differences between baseline and completed knots for each subject were analyzed with an unpaired t test. Subjects receiving both subjective and tensiometer feedback demonstrated the greatest improvements in knot quality score (KQS) and slip percentage (Subject 1: 0.15 ± 0.9 vs 0.21 ± 0.05, P < 0.04, 75% vs 60%, P = NS; Subject 2: 0.22 ± 0.10 vs 0.29 ± 0.05, P < 0.02, 33% vs 0%, P < 0.05; Subject 3: 0.10 ± 0.07 vs 0.25 ± 0.07, P < 0.0001, 60% vs 10%, P < 0.01). Objective assessment of knot-tying performance is possible using the tensiometer device. Introduction of the tensiometer during the learning phase produced improved KQS and slip percentage in most students regardless of the number of baseline knots tied. Greatest improvements in performance were seen when the tensiometer was used in combination with subjective instruction.

In order to assess the performance of multisensor image registration algorithms that are used in the multirobot information fusion, we propose a model based on structural similarity whose name is vision registration assessment model. First of all, this article introduces a new image concept named superimposed image for testing subjective and objective assessment methods. Therefore, we assess the superimposed image but not the registered image, which is different from previous image registration assessment methods that usually use reference and sensed images. Then, we calculate eight assessment indicators from different aspects for superimposed images. After that, vision registration assessment model fuses the eight indicators using canonical correlation analysis, which is used for evaluating the quality of an image registration results in different aspects. Finally, three kinds of images which include optical images, infrared images, and SAR images are used to test vision registration assessment model. After evaluating three state-of-the-art image registration methods, experiments indict that the proposed structural similarity-motivated model achieved almost same evaluation results with that of the human object with the consistency rate of 98.3%, which shows that vision registration assessment model is efficient and robust for evaluating multisensor image registration algorithms. Moreover, vision registration assessment model is independent of the emotional factors and outside environment, which is different from the human.

Background: Hospital, as one of the most important organizations for health promotion, requires efficient and effective human resources. Health information management staffs are responsible for storing, processing, and distributing information used to improve the quality of healthcare services. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between quality of work-life and productivity of health information management staff. Methods: This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 165 staffs of health information management department in an educational hospital of Isfahan in 2017.  The data were collected using Walton Work Quality life Questionnaire and Gold Smith's Manpower Productivity Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics, including Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, Spearman correlation coefficient, analysis of variance and linear regression analysis by SPSS 18. Results: Average scores for the quality of work life and productivity were 2.65 ± 0.51 and 2.64 ± 0.42, respectively. According to one-sample t-test, these scores had a significant difference with the moderate level (p < 0.05). Based on the Pearson correlation test, the quality of work life had a direct and significant relationship with the productivity of staff (r = 0.73 and p < 0.05). Independent t-test showed that the average score of productivity in men was significantly higher than women (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Considering the direct and significant relationship between the quality of work life and productivity in the staff of health information management department as well as the low level of these two components, the relevant authorities should take appropriate measures. These approaches include safe physical design of workspace and establishment of a fair payment system in accordance with the working conditions of this department. The quality of work life should be improved since it affects the quality of service delivery and staff productivity.
