Disease relevance of Process Assessment (Health Care)

• There was a close correlation between process measures of inflammation and mechanical hyperalgesia in both the untreated and capsaicin treated arthritic groups [1].
• The following process measures compared favorably with measures of the general population: dilated eye and foot exams and measurements of glycated hemoglobin levels; concentrations of total cholesterol; fasting triglycerides and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol; and proteinuria (by dipstick) [2].

High impact information on Process Assessment (Health Care)

• Process measures included frequency of HbA(1c), lipids, microalbuminuria, and serum creatinine measurements and frequency of foot and eye examinations [3].
• Judgments related more closely to changes in ESR and other process measures than to changes in functional ability [4].
• OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictive value for joint damage progression of commonly used disease activity or process measures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [5].
• STUDY OBJECTIVES: To determine if the use of verapamil in patients with contraindications is associated with adverse sequelae, thereby assessing whether process measures of the quality of care are correlated with patient outcomes [6].
• Such estimations are components of the assessment process for persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) substances, which are also referred to as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) [7].

Biological context of Process Assessment (Health Care)

• METHODS: The initial clinical assessment process, investigation, management and communication regarding children referred with suspected epilepsy to general paediatric clinics or a paediatric seizure clinic was compared using the British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA) audit tool [8].

Associations of Process Assessment (Health Care) with chemical compounds

• Recent reports issued by the Surgeon General and by the Institute of Medicine identify a need for refinements in the assessment process, the use of outcomes-based quality measures, and payment policies designed to improve access and quality [9].
• Drafting a parenteral nutrition order form utilizing a physician assessment process [10].
• A factor analysis of process measures confirmed earlier findings based on self-report data concerning parental disciplinary style [11].
• OUTCOMES MEASURED: Utilizing measures from the American Diabetes Association and the Diabetes Quality Improvement Project, comprehensive protocols were developed for implementation of process measures and management of glucose by the DRN [12].
• Re: Lawson IJ, McGeoch KL. A medical assessment process for a large volume of medico-legal compensation claims for hand-arm vibration syndrome [13].

Gene context of Process Assessment (Health Care)

• Patterns of disease onset and process measures, such as ESR and CRP, help to predict outcome [14].
• Building on the assessment process in Part 1 (October 1984 JONA), the authors present elements of program planning, illustrating the process with a low-cost model program to improve morale that addresses workload, learning opportunities, and organizational rewards for staff nurses [15].
• OBJECTIVES: To determine the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of numerous radiographic process measures used in the assessment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [16].
• This paper reports the results of the assessment process and discusses the difficulty of discriminating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from diffuse neurosensory impairment arising from HAVS [17].
• Furthermore, study process measures outweighed the ILS in the prediction of study results (post-test, GPA and credit points) [18].
