“…Identification of the occurrence of medical errors, followed by voluntary provider reporting, is critical. [117][118][119] Common definitions of medication error and a blame-free culture that encourages the reporting of errors in the ED can potentially improve care through early recognition of inappropriate treatment. 120 The National Emergency Department Safety Study is being implemented currently in 85 EDs across the United States affiliated with the Emergency Medicine Network (EMNet).…”

“…Emergency physicians are all too often pressed for time to evaluate, diagnose and treat their patients safely in the unfavourable environments of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency settings. 5 The implementation of guidelines and SOP is a complex task. Thus, the primary aim of the present study was to investigate the extent to which the sole introduction of an SOP, provided in both printed and electronic versions, could improve the quality of patient care in emergency medicine.…”

This study investigated improvements in pre-hospital care for patients with acute exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aeCOPD) achieved by using a standard operating procedure (SOP). An SOP for pre-hospital treatment of patients with aeCOPD was designed based on valid national guidelines. A total of 1000 Emergency Medical Service patient care reports were analysed prospectively: 500 before and 500 after introduction of the SOP. Overall guideline adherence was 34.6% before and 53.8% after introduction of the SOP; this increase was not statistically significant. After SOP introduction, the administration of β2-mimetics by inhalative, intravenous and subcutaneous routes increased significantly. The level of knowledge of the national guidelines was rated at 67% by emergency physicians during self-assessment, but was only 33% when physicians were asked specific questions during interview. Introducing the SOP for patients with aeCOPD did not significantly improve adherence to valid national guidelines, but did help to improve specific elements of therapy.

“…Horngren, et al (2003) define Benchmarking Technique as thecontinuous process of comparing performance levels to manufacture the product or service and operational activities against the best units in the level of performance that can be found within the competing units or in units that perform similar operations. As well as, numerous studies dealt with benchmarking as a structured quality improvement technique (Braillon et al, 2008;Francis et al, 2008).…”

This paper aims to analyzing the effect of strategic management accounting techniques on quality of financial information in private Jordanian universities in the capital, Amman. The study involves a questionnaire-based survey of dean and heads of department respondents from private Jordanian universities at Amman capital. A total of (212) valid questionnaire was finally obtained for analysis towards achieving the study objectives. Structural equation modeling was performed to understand the relationship between study variables. The results show that Benchmarking has a significant positive impact on Quality of Financial Information (Relevance, Understandability and Comparability). Value Chain Cost, also, has a significant positive impact on Quality of Financial Information (Relevance, Understandability and Comparability). As well as, Balanced Scorecard has a significant positive impact on Quality of Financial Information.This study displays the important role of strategic management accounting techniques in enhancing the Quality of Financial Information, as well as, helps decision makers to take their decisions based on Information Relevance, Understandability and Comparability.
