Abstract:
Similar to the manufacturing sector, process improvement gains much attention in health care sector. Measuring process quality is one of the most important components of process improvement and numerous healthcare quality indicator models are developed to achieve this aim. Existing quality models focus on some specific diseases, clinics or clinical areas. Although they contain structure, process, or output type measures, there is no model which measures the quality of health care processes comprehensively. As a result, hospitals cannot compare quality of processes internally and externally. To

Abstract:
Background: Health is influenced by many determinants, including the social and physical environment, economic factors, and individual characteristics. Diet and nutrition play a critical role in health, both in the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases, with dietary risk factors alone causing 5.3% of the total disease burden in Australia. Dietetic care has been shown to improve consumer outcomes, demonstrating its role in addressing the burden caused by poor diet.

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University<br>In 2011, the United States spent $2.7 trillion in health care expenditures, accounting for 17.9 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Health care spending increased by 3.9 percent in 2011 and is expected to surpass 20 percent of GDP by 2020. An investigation of national trends in health spending conducted by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that approximately 30 percent of US health expenditures—that is, about $750 billion—is wasteful spending.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization and the leading hospice organizations have emphasized the inclusion of family caregivers of hospice patients with cancer into end-of-life care, as these two dyad members may spiritually and emotionally influence each other. Given that depression and spiritual needs, which are prominent in these pairs, may impair quality of life (QOL) of hospice dyads, examining mutuality within dyads is imperative to develop a more accurate model that includes family caregivers. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to elucidate the importance of mutual effects within hospice dy

Elderly people are recognised as the fastest growing population globally (Lutz, Sanderson, & Scherbov, 2008). Although older age can be a time of increased affluence for some, it is also linked with challenges related to health issues and costs, aged-care requirements and the relinquishing of long held responsibilities and freedoms (Bongaarts, 2004; Borsch Supan, 2003). These trends are evident in Korea, which has one of the fastest growing elderly populations as well as a higher percentage of the elderly in rural areas, compared to urban settings. Despite the Korean government’s efforts to en
