The reactions of the doctors to the various interventions are reported as they appeared from their answers in a questionnaire. The influence of the interventions on the employed sampling technique is described on the basis of their answers to a telephone inquiry. The inclusion in laboratory protocols of an evaluation of the sampling quality of the submitted smears was largely appreciated, as was specific advice offered on indication. Monthly overviews comparing the performance of the individual doctor to that of his peers were esteemed by three out of four. Further information, help or training was requested more frequently than average by physicians obtaining inadequately sampled smears relatively often. The number of doctors using the combined spatula and Cytobrush method as sampling technique doubled during the study period.","PeriodicalId":77341,"journal":{"name":"Quality assurance in health care : the official journal of the International Society for Quality Assurance in Health Care","volume":"4 2 1","pages":"161-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/OXFORDJOURNALS.INTQHC.A036711","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61010536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixteen long-stay geriatric patients, average age 83 years, were visited by eight geriatricians, a patient receiving from two to five visits. The participating physicians could visit the patients at their leisure, had access to clinical records and could interview a nurse well acquainted with the patient. A marked variability was observed for most items, e.g. the agreement concerning the recommendation for individual physiotherapy was only 52%. The results of this study may not be generalized to other situations and to actual practice; however, variability studies of this kind, that assess diagnosis habits, treatment and managerial decisions at the same time, may be useful to pinpoint the most important problems and to stimulate professionals' participation in proper Quality Assurance projects.","PeriodicalId":77341,"journal":{"name":"Quality assurance in health care : the official journal of the International Society for Quality Assurance in Health Care","volume":"4 1 1","pages":"69-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/OXFORDJOURNALS.INTQHC.A036699","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61010411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This screening assessment was performed over 3 years, using a database of 230,167 smears from 177,051 women. It would seem that cervical cytology has a high specificity (over 99%) but a relatively low sensitivity (61%). Values for sensitivity (exceeding 95%) and specificity (exceeding 99%) for invasive carcinoma should be regarded as reasonably accurate as all incident cases of symptomatic cervical carcinoma are recorded in the Burgundy register. The sensitivity (57%) for pre-invasive lesions is underestimated while their prevalence is overestimated: the lack of organized screening leads to the loss of prevalent cases. The predictive value of a positive smear is 76% for moderate-severe dysplasia, 85% for in situ carcinoma and over 95% for invasive carcinoma.","PeriodicalId":77341,"journal":{"name":"Quality assurance in health care : the official journal of the International Society for Quality Assurance in Health Care","volume":"4 2 1","pages":"105-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/OXFORDJOURNALS.INTQHC.A036705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61010452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first phase of the programme covers three areas: (1) information sources, (2) training, (3) Total Quality activities, through a cascade of four coordinated projects. The first one defines a basic nucleus of patient information and established two national standards: (a) a minimum basic data set, (b) the use of an ICD-9-CM Spanish translation for codification of diagnoses and procedures. The second is an open demonstration project implementing these two standards in National Health Service hospitals and carrying out intensive training on ICD-9-CM codifiers. The third project encompasses two pilot studies on case-mix measurements systems and cost analysis framework. Through the fourth project concepts, methods and tools for Total Quality Management are developed, setting up specific working groups on clinical and organizational indicators for hospitals and primary health care.","PeriodicalId":77341,"journal":{"name":"Quality assurance in health care : the official journal of the International Society for Quality Assurance in Health Care","volume":"4 1 1","pages":"43-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/OXFORDJOURNALS.INTQHC.A036697","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61010377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
