Physician Clinical Performance Assessment
2020Co-Authors: Bruce E. Landon, T. Normand, David BlumenthalAbstract:The Performance of physicians in their day-to-day clinical practices has become an area of intense public interest. Both patients and health care purchasers want more effective means of identifying excellent clinicians, and a variety of organizations are discussing and implementing plans for assessing the Performance of individual clinicians. In this article, we review the current state of physician clinical Performance Assessment with a focus on its usefulness for competency Assessment. We describe recommendations for a physician clinical Performance Assessment system for these purposes, and identify ways in which current methods of Performance Assessment fall short of these. We conclude that important technical barriers stand in the way of using physician clinical Performance Assessment for evaluating the competency of individual physicians. Overcoming these barriers will require considerable additional research and development. Even then, for some uses, physician clinical Performance Assessment at the individual physician level may be technically impossible to accomplish in a valid and fair way.

standards of validity and the validity of standards in Performance Assessment
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2005Co-Authors: Samuel MessickAbstract:What are six distinct aspects of construct validation? How do these aspects apply to Performance Assessment? Are the consequences of Performance Assessment on teaching and learning relevant to construct validation?

Performance Assessment OF COGENERATION PLANTS
Energy Conversion and Management, 2020Co-Authors: Mehmet Kanoglu, Ibrahim DincerAbstract:In this paper, Performance Assessment of various building cogeneration systems is conducted through energy and exergy efficiencies. The cogeneration plants considered include steam-turbine system, gas-turbine system, diesel-engine system, and geothermal system. Here, the cogeneration operation refers to the simultaneous generation of electrical power and heating for buildings (especially for space heating and hot water). Selected actual operating data are employed for analysis and Performance Assessment. The same amount of electrical and thermal product outputs is considered for all systems, except the diesel, to facilitate comparisons. Also, the effects of certain operating parameters (e.g., steam pressure, water temperature) on the energy and exergy efficiencies are investigated. The diesel-engine and geothermal systems appear to be thermodynamically more attractive, in that they have higher exergy efficiencies, than steam-turbine and gas-turbine systems. The results demonstrate that exergy analysis is a useful tool in Performance Assessments of cogeneration systems and permits meaningful comparisons of different cogeneration systems based on their merits. Such results can allow the efficiency of cogeneration systems to be increased, and the applications of cogeneration in larger energy systems to be configured more beneficially, leading to reductions in fuel use and environmental emissions.
