Quality-Assurance Program Description Defense Waste Processing Facility
High Level Radioactive Waste Management, 1993Co-Authors: Stephen R. MaslarAbstract:This paper describes the Westinghouse Savannah River Company's (WSRC) Quality Assurance Program for defense-waste processing at the Savannah River Site (SRS). WSRC is the operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at SRS. The WSRC Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is responsible for converting 35 million gallons of high-level waste into durable, leach-resistant, borosilicate glass. The waste form, contained in stainless-steel canisters, will be shipped to a federal repository. The Quality-Assurance Program applies to both qualifying and producing high-level waste forms. The Program provides a means by which the Quality-Assurance Program can be managed in order to achieve its objectives. This description identifies the Program's objectives, content, and application. It describes how the Program is structured, managed, and implemented for high-level waste-form qualification and high level waste-form production.

Quality Assurance Program description, Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). Revision 2
1992Co-Authors: Stephen R. MaslarAbstract:This document describes the Westinghouse Savannah River Company`s (WSRC) Quality Assurance Program for Defense Waste Processing at the Savannah River Site (SRS). WSRC is the operating contractor for the US Department of Energy (DOE) at the SRS. The following objectives are achieved through developing and implementing the Quality Assurance Program: (1) Ensure that the attainment of Quality (in accomplishing defense high-level waste processing objectives at the SRS) is at a level commensurate with the government`s responsibility for protecting public health and safety, the environment, the public investment, and for efficiently and effectively using national resources. (2) Ensure that high-level waste from qualification and production activities conform to requirements defined by OCRWM. These activities include production processes, equipment, and services; and products that are planned, designed, procured, fabricated, installed, tested, operated, maintained, modified, or produced.

Quality Assurance Program Description---DWPF
1992Co-Authors: Stephen R. MaslarAbstract:This document describes the Westinghouse Savannah River Company's (WSRC) Quality Assurance Program for Defense Waste Processing at the Savannah River Site (SRS). It identifies and describes the planned activities that constitute the required Quality Assurance Program. The work to which the Quality Assurance Program applies includes both the qualification and production of high-level waste forms. The end result of the Program is to provide confidence that these high-level waste forms may be safely and acceptably used to dispose of the radioactive waste that results from activities at SRS in support of national defense.

RCPA Quality Assurance Program: review of the urology module
Pathology, 2012Co-Authors: Fiona MacleanAbstract:In the course of the presentation a review of the urology module of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Program (RCPA QAP) will be made, including an assessment of the results pertaining to straightforward urogenital cases, and those that presented more of a challenge to respondents. One aspect that will be examined in more depth is the range of responses given in regard to Gleason scoring of prostate adenocarcinoma, an area that has not been formally assessed to date but will be assessed going forward. Discussion will also be made concerning the performance monitoring project and the framework to be introduced in regard to anatomical pathology.

How to Create a Quality Assurance Program for Radiation Safety in Interventional Radiology
Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology, 2010Co-Authors: Craig B. GlaibermanAbstract:The practice of medicine is becoming increasingly complex with regard to its economic and academic aspects. In a climate of increasing cutbacks and reduced reimbursements, health care providers are being held more accountable for proving that the services they render are top Quality and worthy of the cost of the care provided. Furthermore, patient safety is currently in the public eye and a driving force behind the Pay for Performance initiative. Therefore, Quality Assurance Programs and practice Quality improvement systems have been developed to promote patient safety, improve current practice patterns, and help practitioners maintain their board certification. This article very briefly describes one simple example of a radiation safety Quality Assurance Program.

telemedicine spirometry training and Quality Assurance Program in primary care centers of a public health system
Telemedicine Journal and E-health, 2014Co-Authors: Nuria Marina Malanda, Elena Lopez De Santa Maria, Asuncion Gutierrez, Juan Carlos Bayon, Larraitz Garcia, Juan B GaldizAbstract:Abstract Background: Forced spirometry is essential for diagnosing respiratory diseases and is widely used across levels of care. However, several studies have shown that spirometry Quality in primary care is not ideal, with risks of misdiagnosis. Our objective was to assess the feasibility and performance of a telemedicine-based training and Quality Assurance Program for forced spirometry in primary care. Materials and Methods: The two phases included (1) a 9-month pilot study involving 15 centers, in which spirometry tests were assessed by the Basque Office for Health Technology Assessment, and (2) the introduction of the Program to all centers in the Public Basque Health Service. Technicians first received 4 h of training, and, subsequently, they sent all tests to the reference laboratory using the Program. Quality assessment was performed in accordance with clinical guidelines (A and B, good; C–F, poor). Results: In the first phase, 1,894 spirometry tests were assessed, showing an improvement in quali...
