Turnaround time and market capacity in contract cheating

Improving theatre turnaround time

The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement has determined that a £7 million saving can be achieved per trust by improving theatre efficiency. The aim of this quality improvement project was to improve orthopaedic theatre turnaround without compromising the patient safety. We process mapped all the stages from application of dressing to knife to skin on the next patient in order to identif...

Contract Market Viability

The Evaluation of Error Types and Turnaround Time of Preanalytical Phase in Biochemistry and Hematology Laboratories

Background& Objective: Each laboratory should determine the type of errors and turnaround time (TAT), especially in the preanalytical phase to report quality and timeliness of the test results. The current study aimed at investigating the common causes of preanalytical errors in biochemistry and hematology laboratories and evaluating the preanalytical ...

Simulating the Impacts of Contract Supplies in a Spot Market - Contract Market Equilibrium Setting

This paper embeds a principal-agent model of producer-processor equilibrium within a market equilibrium model of contract and cash markets to analyze the impact of contracting on the spot market for hogs. The principal-agent model incorporates both quality differentiation in the contract market and an endogenously determined cash market price to account for processorproducer relationships in eq...

Book to Market, Turnaround Probability and Stock Returns

Book to market (BM) has long been associated with growth opportunities. We argue that after a negative shock to earnings, the BM of the firm is mainly determined by the shortterm recovery ability of the firm. Firms that have high (low) probability to recover from a negative shock will have low (high) BM after a negative shock. We confirm this relation both analytically and empirically and show ...
