Outcome Expectations and

What job, problem, or task creates the focus for your innovation effort What are its associated customer and provider outcome expectations Have you already created a project statement or job statement See Jobs To Be Done, Outcome Expectations, and Project Charter (Techniques 1, 2, and 10 respectively). 

Project Customers/Users Requirement Specification At this point, a senior-level manager prepares a document expanding on the original idea. The document contains enough detail to specify the outcomes expected and some criteria are established. Customers/users (employees) may submit their specifications and suggestions on how waste can be eliminated. 

A preliminary investigation of cultural equivalence was undertaken by examining whether Paton s (2008) community engagement theory (see above) of preparedness could account for differences in earthquake preparedness in countries (New Zealand, Japan, and Taiwan) that differ with regard to their relative positions on the individualistic-collectivistic cultural spectrum (see Fig. 2). This theory was selected for this initial comparison because its inclusion of both individual-level (outcome expectancy) and com-munity-/social-level process (community participation and collective efficacy) variables provides a useful starting point for studying cultures that... 

In a more quantitative sense, cause-consequence analysis may be viewed as a blend of fault tree end event tree analysis (discussed in tlie two preceding cliapters) for evaluating potential accidents. A major strengtli of cause-consequence analysis is its use as a communication tool. For example, a cause-consequence diagram displays the interrelationships between tlie accident outcomes (consequences) and Uieir basic causes. The method can be used to quantify the expected frequency of occurrence of the consequences if the appropriate chita are available.

Quality is a multifactorial concept that includes a large number of factors which have to be taken into account and which are heterogeneous in outcome and in the perception of stakeholders and consumers. Currently, there is huge inconsistency between expectations and reality in relation to the level of different pork quality traits and the uniformity of products from different production systems. 

Patient education about goals, realistic expectations, and dangers of overtreatment is important to optimize therapeutic outcomes. Treatment regimens are targeted to types of lesions and acne severity (Fig. 15-1) ... 

Two-phase optimization Maximize expected profit across multiple price scenarios subject to the constraint that a given minimum profit value is reached. From a practical point of view, this approach seems to be more appropriate in situations where a high variability of profit can be expected and the risk of low profit outcomes shall be minimized.

This algorithm will generate the ensemble of conformations at thermodynamic equilibrium, if the conformational variations introduced in step 1 (the so-called moves ) are sufficient to cover all possible regions of conformational space and are locally reversible. It is easy to understand that feature of the Metropolis procedure the transition probability into the higher energy state is given by the Boltzmann factor, the transition probability into the lower energy state is one. The relative population of the two states is then the ratio of the transition probabilities, thus the Boltzmann factor this is the outcome expected from thermodynamics. 

The release of a flammable gas or the vaporization of a liquefied flammable gas can lead to different types of fire scenarios dependent on the release mechanism and the point of ignition. Figure 5-2 on page 53 illustrates the different outcomes expected from a gas release. If ignition of a gas release does not occur immediately at the origin of the release, then a gas cloud can develop (the same situation can also occur above flammable liquid spills). A delayed ignition of the gas cloud can result in a flash fire in which the premixed (fuel and air) gas cloud burns rapidly, typically in a matter of seconds. 

In addition to a timeline, a second way to summarize anticipated accomplishments is to list your expected outcomes. Expected outcomes are measurable achievements that link back to the measurable objectives listed at the start of the proposal. Recall that the Project Description often starts out with a list of specific, achievable, and measurable (SAM) objectives. Timelines attest to the achievability of the objectives outcomes attest to their measurability. 

Are the results applicable to my patient Is my patient represented Were the clinically important outcomes considered How long did the treatment last Are the treatments worth the potential benefits, harms, and costs Can we provide the treatment In the Methods section, quickly scan the inclusion and exclusion ctitetia to see if yout patient falls within the type of patient enteted into the study. If necessary, adjust the NNT so that the expectations for benefit match the divergence of your patient from the average patient in the study population. Factor in your preferences and expectations and preferences of your patient and family. 

The shortcoming of all methods for predetermining cure cycles that regulate secondary variables is that they deal only in expectations and probabilities. No matter how many eventualities are anticipated, there is always one more that is unexpected. Unexpected variations in material properties, process equipment malfunctions, and changes to geometries of tool and part all contribute to the uncertainty of the outcome. As a result, in-process, inferential control is needed for the process environment as well as the boundary conditions and material state. Inferential control is relatively new to the polymer processing industry, especially in complex processes where good models are not yet common. 

The job analysis provides useful information for both employees and managers. For managers, information from the job analysis is used in writing job descriptions, interviewing job candidates, screening candidates, and setting performance criteria. For employees, information from the job analysis tells employees how work is to be done and the outcomes expected. 

Another area of humanistic outcomes that may be important to measure is patient satisfaction. Satisfaction is defined as the extent to which individuals needs and wants are met. This is finked with attitudes toward the medical care system, as well as expectations and perceptions regarding the quantity and quality of care received. 

The first chronological demonstration of chrom-NMR is shown in Figure l,14 and consisted in testing an analogy of both inverse (naphthalene, ethanol and dec-1-ene in deuterated ethanol on a octadecylsilyl Octadecylsilane (ODS) phase) and direct (dichlorophenol, ethanol and heptane in deuterated cyclohexane over bare silica) chromatographic conditions. In these examples, a logical correspondence between the observed variation in mobility induced by the solid and the outcome expected on the basis of LC is confirmed. Thus, (Figure 1, top panels)...
