Methods： We improved time-out compliance rate by using PDCA-cycle （a quality improvement tools）. Data were collected before and after the implementation of PDCA-cycle. The results were analyzed. Results： After implementation of PDCA-cycle, over all time-out compliance rate was increased from 80% to 99.8% （P=0.000）. The compliance rate of identifying patient, performing site marking before surgery, verification of correct-site and correct procedure were increased from 85.1%, 79.2%, 89.7% and 89.1% to 99.8%, 99.9%, 100% and 100% （P〈0.05） respectively. Conclusion： Our study validated the PDCA-cycle methodology improves time-out compliance rate, and it is one of the most effective quality improvement tools for hospital management.展开更多

It has shown the reason why all of single network’s congestion control is not suitable to internetworks. A new congestion control scheme of internetworks is presented which uses acknowledgment time-outs and the feedback signal from gateway as indications of packet loss and congestion. Using a black-box model of the internetworks, this paper derives approximate calculating formulas and proves the scheme’s special characters by computer simulation. It is shown that the presented method is better than R. Jain’s (1986).展开更多

Task distribution is affected by a negotiation process,a discussion carried on between nodes with tasks to he executed and nodes that may be able to execute those tasks. In contract net protocol,once negotiation successes,tbe task execution is assumed to success. However,in real world,even though a task is awarded to successfully bidding nodes,it may be delayed. Such delay may badly propagate in whole system. Here,we introduce real-time constraints into contract net protocol to manage task execution for avoiding the, task's delay,or even though being delayed,the railure cannot propagate to whole system. In this paper,we first present a real-time contract net protocol which is an extension of contract net protocol with real-time constraints for distributed computing. Our proposition extends the basic negotiation protocol to negotiation and controlling execution or task. The controlling process is based on task deadline time,we also present an extension of the internode language of contract net protocol specification with real-time constraints.展开更多
