Medicine characteristics affecting the time to guidance publication by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the single technology appraisal process

Objective In England, the time gap between marketing authorization (MA) and guidance publication by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) can limit patients’ access to new medicines. In this study, our aim was to identify medicine characteristics associated with the long time gap between MA and guidance publication and explore the influencing factors. Methods We identified 116 single technology appraisals from 2016 to 2020 using publicly available data, and extracted information on the year of appraisal completion, application type, experiences of similar appraisals, orphan medicinal products (OMPs), cancer medicines, and accelerated assessment. Multiple regression analyses were performed to analyze the associations between the medicine characteristics and key time periods related to health technology assessment and MA processes. Results OMPs were associated with a long period between MA and guidance publication. Specifically, OMPs and cancer medicines were associated with slow guidance publication after the final scope (FS) development. However, there was no association between OMPs and the period between validation of MA application and FS development. Non-double-blinded randomized clinical trials and the use of comparators not specified in the FS were associated with slow guidance publication after the FS development. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that OMPs are associated with a longer period between MA and guidance publication by the NICE than non-OMPs; this may be attributed to the slow guidance publication after the FS development. These findings indicate the necessity to shorten the appraisal process for OMPs.

Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Penilaian Kinerja Karyawan Pada PT Manggala Usaha Manunggal Menggunakan Metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

PT Manggala Usaha Manunggal is a company engaged in mining and focusing on coal minerals, which is supported by many employees who work professionally in their respective fields. In a company, an employee performance appraisal process is usually carried out to determine the best employees. In the current performance appraisal process, the company still uses a manual system, so it is still less effective and efficient in managing data. The problem faced is how to calculate the best employee performance appraisal, with a decision support system in calculating employee performance appraisal, one of which is by applying the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Porcess) method which is expected to produce the best employee rankings. The system that will be created will be web-based using MYSQL.

Developing an Effective Employee Performance Appraisal System

This study focuses on developing an effective employee performance appraisal system and employees’ perception of justice with the appraisal outcome. The study tries to identify the various techniques used in the appraisal process, the error(s) associated with each technique, all known metrics of performance measurement, and best ways of capturing appraisal data. This study is imperative in view of the fact that most existing appraisal system limit staff performance to competence only. The current system uses generic ratings for all workers irrespective of their job roles and do not employ biometrics in the appraisal process. Leveraging on the potentials of information and communications technology (ICT) helps to harmonize all issues embedded in the current appraisal system. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources in order to elicit information from stakeholders. Some hypotheses were adopted. Questionnaires were also used to help in data collection from both stake holders and workers in general. Hypothesises were tested using chi-square with degree of freedom (d.f.) = (n-1) = 4 and level of significance (α) is 0.05. Pie chart was also use in the analysis. Results show that there is a high level of perception of injustice with the present appraisal system by stakeholders. Result also shows that existing appraisal systems limits workers performance to competence only. It was revealed that an effective appraisal system should be technology-driven. Technology-driven employee performance appraisal system utilizes all known matrices of performance measurement in the appraisal process. This approach to workers appraisal would bring about transparency and efficiency in the system. It would also bring about wide participation in the appraisal process. Furthermore, it would create room for increased productivity, proper monitoring of workers performance and increased workers satisfaction.

The Impact of the Performance Appraisal Process on Job Satisfaction of the Academic Staff in Higher Educational Institutions

Performance appraisal is one of the key management tools which identifies employees’ strengths and weaknesses. Usually, this is the major mechanism of gathering information for rewarding/training employees based on their performance, and hence a key to achieve organisational goals by creating a satisfied workforce. Therefore, this study was aimed at examining the effects of the Performance Appraisal Process on job satisfaction of the university academic staff. The information collected within one of the largest universities in the UK via questionnaires and semi-structured interviews showed that the existing appraisal process majorly aligned with the requirements of the research-excellence-framework of the UK, which is greatly concerned with research rather than teaching. Furthermore, it was found that there is no clear link between promotions, salary increments, and rewards, etc. with staff performance within the current appraisal process. Eventually, it was realised that the majority of the academic staff of the source university were dissatisfied with the current performance appraisal process, and this could be the situation in the majority of universities in the UK. Therefore, further research in this area is highly recommended to explore extensive information to create a favourable work/study environment for both staff and students within the universities.

Design Records Appraisal Tool

ABSTRACT A common obstacle during the appraisal of design records is the specialized vernacular creators use to describe them. As a result, archival professionals may feel unprepared for discussions with potential donors while acquiring these distinct and sometimes problematic materials. Using authoritative architectural and archival sources, the authors expanded on existing literature to develop appraisal grid templates that generally align with different collecting institutions' missions and overarching development and retention policies and created a consolidated and comprehensive glossary of design phases, categories, and definitions to use as a reference. The authors hope that this resource will assist those who are unfamiliar with the design process to interpret disparate design record types, to inform the appraisal process, and ultimately, to make accessioning decisions.
