Abstract:
Purpose While recently introduced EU regulation on the statutory audit of public interest entities (PIEs) aims to improve audit competition and quality, its success and impact depends on the definition of a PIE applied across the various EU Member States. In the UK, even though little is known about their auditing choices, these changes will not apply to most private companies despite their importance to the wider economy. The purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of the private company audit market and examine the lobbying behaviour of the accounting profession around the d

The Royal College of Psychiatrists (1989) has recently produced its own preliminary report on medical audit. It defines medical audit as: “The systematic, critical analysis of the quality of medical care, including the procedures used for diagnosis and treatment, the use of resources and the resulting outcome and quality of life for the patients.” This definition is in essence similar to that of the Royal College of Physicians.

Purpose – Auditing may be viewed as an arrangement for reducing inefficiencies arising from the fundamental market conflict between a seller who wants as high a price as possible and a buyer who wants to pay as low a price as possible. In more general terms, sellers prefer policies that boost the stock price in the short run whereas buyers would prefer the price to peak when they are ready to sell some time in the future. By framing audited financial reports within this context, the purpose of this paper is to provide some insights regarding both audit institutions and audit regulation. Design

Abstract:
You have decided on the area you wish to research, reviewed the relevant literature, and developed a research question; your next task is to decide what method is most appropriate to address that question. The first issue you need to consider is whether your study is research or audit. This is important as research and audit, while similar in many respects, have a number of differences that have important ethical, methodological, and management implications. The vogue for ‘call this research project an audit and we don’t need ethics’ is thankfully passing, due not least to intolerance by the General Medical Council (GMC) and National Health Service (NHS) disciplinary panels of such slippery practice. A second issue is broadly methodological, and concerns whether you intend to use quantitative or qualitative methods. Finally, you need to consider whether your research can be done in a clinical setting or is better suited to laboratory conditions, which will have important implications for the manner in which you approach your study. We begin the chapter by considering service investigation and audit and will examine how audit differs from research. Following this we consider quantitative and qualitative approaches and examine their philosophical underpinnings, methods and analysis. Finally we examine basic science concepts and laboratory-based research. For any clinician the main priority in service investigation is the process of auditing one’s own practice. There are, however, other means of evaluating practice. This section will focus in on the assessment of service quality. This, as it turns out, is rather difficult to define. The Department of Health (DoH; 1) defi ne quality as ‘doing the right things, at the right time, for the right people and doing them right — first time’. This, as you may notice, is a rather broad definition which may be of limited value to you when you are planning to use the concept of quality as the central theme of your investigation. However, as this concept of quality is at the centre of pretty much every document the DoH publishes, it is worth keeping it in mind.

Abstract:
Quality control (QC) is one aspect of quality assurance (QA). Quality assurance also includes (1) periodic laboratory audits by external specialists, (2) keeping upto-date clearly-written protocols, (3) preparation of QA reports, (4) troubleshooting, (5) equipment maintenance and calibration, (6) methodology development, (7) personnel training, (8) continuing education, and (9) laboratory safety. To be assured of ongoing quality performance, laboratory accreditation is mandatory. The above aspects have been discussed throughout this text; however, because DMA profiling often involves legal considerations, details of QC are presented in this chapter. An extremely important report, Guidelines for a Quality Assurance Program for DNA Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis, prepared by the Quality Assurance Subcommittee of TWGDAM, is included in Appendix I (Mudd 1989). Quality control, narrowly defined, is directly concerned with the accuracy and precision of laboratory results for specimens of verified origin. Implicit in this definition is assurance that correct and accurate population allele frequencies are used in probability calculations. The expert witness representing the laboratory must ensure that (1) the correct specimen is analyzed, (2) the DNA is not significantly degraded, (3) the specimens are not significantly contaminated with extraneous DNA, (4) the analysis procedure is well-controlled, (5) result interpretation is correct, and (6) no deviations from the authorized laboratory protocol have occurred. The expert witness in DNA profiling should be a meticulous analyst with a solid grasp of genetic and biochemical principles combined with considerable experience in recombinant DNA processes. A reasonable understanding of the concepts and application of statistical techniques, especially probability, is a definite asset. The ability to articulate the results of an analysis and to respond under cross examination to in-depth questions concerning principles, techniques, and chain of custody is mandatory. (See Wetli 1989 for a general overview on appearing as an expert witness.) A set of objective QC criteria must be established and followed to ensure that neither false negative nor false positive DNA profile match results are released from a service laboratory.

Abstract:
Rapid e-learning (REL) is a phrase in common use since 2003. This article defines REL, describes types of REL authoring tools, discusses management and instructional issues surrounding REL in corporate and academic settings, and summarizes the experience of the National University of Singapore (NUS), an early adopter of the concept of REL since 2004. Almost all current literature on the topic focuses on REL applications in corporate e-learning. There is very little academic research into issues surrounding REL because this is a recent development. At this stage of implementation of REL, the literature on the topic is limited. The following three definitions are commonly used: 1. Josh Bersin defined REL as a category of online training content, which can be developed in weeks, can be authored by subject matter experts (SMEs), and maintains instructional focus and quality (Bersin & De Vries, 2004). REL tools leverage on common software such as PowerPoint and then convert that to Flash or other formats for Web delivery with options to add audio and simple quiz. Content is published, edited, and republished by the SMEs with little or no assistance. 2. Patti Shank, President of Learning Peaks, broadened the definition to include rapid instructional design, development, deployment, and evaluation (Shank, 2006). REL is no longer just synonymous to the rapid authoring and development of content, but also to the streamlining of the entire project management process and production cycle. 3. Another possible definition of Rapid E-learning is when the phrase is used to indicate how rapidly e-learning is being adopted or embraced by an organization. (Tan, Lee & Goh, 2004). The definitions by Bersin & Associates and Patti Shank, which include process and product, are widely accepted as the main definitions of REL.

The chapter is a summary of IP surveillance systems: basic functions, the advantages of network video, customizing surveillance applications, and possible legal concerns. The most important step one can take before installing IP surveillance system is to define goals and requirements. Once these are determined, the video system can be set up. The required goals to be determined are the following: definition of the video surveillance system needs (installation plan, area of coverage, camera positioning, illumination conditions determination, camera cabling, the recording server positioning), network camera and/or video encoder selection (image quality, lens selection, network camera selection, Power over Ethernet [PoE], video motion detection, audio, accessories selection, testing), hardware (switches, additional light sources, power supplies, additional server for video management software, hard drives), software (software package selection, licenses, image quality and frame rate requirements, IP address range calculation, hard disk usage calculation, camera configuration, video motion detection settings, user access definition), and maintenance.

Abstract:
Our ultimate goal as obstetric and neonatal care providers is to optimize care for mothers and their babies. As such, we need to identify practices that are associated with good outcomes. Although the randomized controlled trial is the gold standard for establishing the benefits of interventions, trials are very expensive and must be reserved for the most important of clinical questions. As an alternative, continuous quality improvement involves iterative cycles of practice change and audit of ongoing clinical care. An obvious prerequisite to this is ongoing data collection about interventions and outcomes, as well as demographics, pregnancy characteristics, and neonatal care that may affect the intervention- outcome relationship. In Canada (as in some other developed countries), much of the country is covered by regional reproductive care databases. These collect information on maternal demographics, pregnancy characteristics, labour and delivery, and basic information on maternal and perinatal outcomes. The primary objective of these databases is to monitor geographical trends and disparities in health outcomes. As such, there is little information about interventions, especially outside the period of labour and delivery. Also, there is no standardization of definitions, and efforts to produce a “minimal dataset” have not yet yielded agreement, even after many years of work. A more comprehensive system is required. Moving in this direction would serve many purposes: efficiency, economy in the setting of shrinking budgets, standardization of definitions, collaboration, and creation of stable background data collection onto which researchers could “clip” extra data required for specific studies. These activities would lay the foundation for the electronic health record, which cannot build its foundation on the “Tower of Babel” that is our current definitional structure in women’s health and obstetrics, in particular. Continuous quality improvement efforts and interaction with regional reproductive care programmes will facilitate translation and transfer of knowledge to care-givers and patients. These efforts raise concerns about privacy and security which remain major barriers to the EHR. However, security must be balanced with the need for health information.
