In this paper, a process model for assessing, evaluating and improving a program outcome on the cultivation of internationality is proposed by analyzing the present outcome assessment system. By setting up performance scaled levels and specifying the target level for the performance criterion, the proposed model can help programs to demonstrate effectively that each of their graduates meets the required the program outcome levels. By allowing effective Continuous Quality Improvement(CQI) for the performance criterion, the model can help save operational expense associated with running of the program CQI. In addition, it is discussed that one of the most important aspect is logical and objective approaches when establishing the outcome assessment system. It is hoped that the proposed model can ultimately help to meet the program outcomes requirements in the engineering accreditation criteria.

Medical education, competency, and outcome-based medical education started as part of the basic medical education curriculum in advanced countries 20 years ago, and such an approach was adopted in residency training. General competency training is at the core of residency training in advanced countries, and it goes beyond competency and outcome-based training to the extent that in a milestone training system, competency development is expected and measured with set competency achievements at each level. Recently, for the purpose of ensuring that doctors uphold patient safety and fulfill their obligations, entrustable professional activities (EPA) were applied at the beginning of residency when doctors move away from clinical trials and start actual care. The adoption of EPA in all residency training curriculum has spread very rapidly in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Presently, Korea lags behind other countries significantly as the adoption of competency and outcome-based medical education in residency training has just begun. It is time to identify the current state of the Korean residency training system, and then design and practice a well-established system with a long-term view based on cooperation across the whole medical industry.

This study investigates that the relationship of performance appraisal justice and employee's job satisfaction and whether appraisal outcome perception can significantly take the moderate role on this relationship. We conduct empirical study with one dimension of distributive justice and 5 dimensions of procedural justice; appraisal system, participation of employee, feedback, knowledge of rater, and appraisal standard. The result shows that distributive and procedural justice significantly explain employees' job satisfaction. The result, also, shows that moderate role of appraisal outcome perception is significant. This means if the employee who regards appraisal outcome as high perceive appraisal justice, she/he will experience more job satisfaction than the employee who regards appraisal outcome as low.

The patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are important in assessing the patient's overall health, lesion-specific outcomes, and condition-specific outcomes. PROMs are also known as "scoring systems" and are usually in questionnaires. There are almost a hundred different PROMs available in foot and ankle surgery. Each PROM has its merits, demerits, and validity. Selecting an appropriate PROM is important for adequately evaluating a patient's health status. This article summarizes the most frequently used PROMs in the literature on foot and ankle surgery and presents the authors' recommendations.

This study analyzed that adjustment roles of the organization and Information System strategy suitability factors between influence and introduction outcome factors in the IT outsourcing in government offices. Influence factors of IT outsourcing are organization factor(information system maturity, CEO's support), trade factor(asset speciality, uncertainty, using degree of information system), risk factor(risk of security, risk of increase in cost, risk of losing autonomy). And outcome factors are set as economic effect and technology effect. We analyzed that organization and IS strategy suitability factors as moderator variables. Results are the followings. It was analyzed that organization and IS strategy suitability factors are in charge of adjusting role among information system maturity which is lower variable of organization factor, CEO's support, uncertainty of trade factor's lower variable, risk of security which is risk factor's lower variable, risk of increase in cost, loss of autonomy. Therefore, in order for organization to increase the outcome of information technology, organization strategy and IS strategy should be promoted in combined manner. However, it was analyzed that strategy suitability could not take the adjusting role between asset specialty and introduction outcome.

The notion of outcome-based educational paradigm and its adaptability for higher education has become a recent growing and quite stirring trend. In the year 2017-18, this educational philosophy has been embraced by some of the higher educational institutions in Pakistan as well. This research attempts to investigate OBE and non-OBE systems in the context of students learning outcomes and academic attainment levels in engineering education in Pakistan. The study has been conducted on undergraduate students of MUET, Jamshoro, Sindh Pakistan. The students of the software engineering department are taken as the sample. Student cohorts are formed i.e., OBE and non-OBE (traditional/teacher-centered approach) cohorts. The summative assessments of semester exams are used for data analysis descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test is performed to set up the group statistic. The findings of this study show that, in terms of students' performance, the OBE system outperforms the traditional system and this transition in engineering institutions might be beneficial in the future.

Objective : Several studies have reported inconsistent findings among countries on whether off-hour hospital presentation is associated with worse outcome in patients with acute stroke. However, its association is yet not clear and has not been thoroughly studied in Korea. We assessed nationwide administrative data to verify off-hour effect in different subtypes of acute stroke in Korea. Methods : We respectively analyzed the nationwide administrative data of National Emergency Department Information System in Korea; 7144 of ischemic stroke (IS), 2424 of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and 1482 of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), respectively. "Off-hour hospital presentation" was defined as weekends, holidays, and any times except 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays. The primary outcome measure was in-hospital mortality in different subtypes of acute stroke. We adjusted for covariates to influence the primary outcome using binary logistic regression model and Cox's proportional hazard model. Results : In subjects with IS, off-hour hospital presentation was associated with unfavorable outcome (24.6% off hours vs. 20.9% working hours, p<0.001) and in-hospital mortality (5.3% off hours vs. 3.9% working hours, p=0.004), even after adjustment for compounding variables (hazard ratio [HR], 1.244; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.106-1.400; HR, 1.402; 95% CI, 1.124-1.747, respectively). Off-hours had significantly more elderly ≥65 years (35.4% off hours vs. 32.1% working hours, p=0.029) and significantly more frequent intensive care unit admission (32.5% off hours vs. 29.9% working hours, p=0.017) than working hours. However, off-hour hospital presentation was not related to poor short-term outcome in subjects with ICH and SAH. Conclusion : This study indicates that off-hour hospital presentation may lead to poor short-term morbidity and mortality in patients with IS, but not in patients with ICH and SAH in Korea. Excessive death seems to be ascribed to old age or the higher severity of medical conditions apart from that of stroke during off hours.

In recent years, problems like the formation of the organizational culture that emphasizes the outcome, deepening of stagnation of promotion, the advent of high wages and the open era, the shortage of talented human resources has occurred. Thus, public agencies have an effort to improve the traditional seniority supply wage system and have carried out introducing the performance annual salary system. This study analyzed performance annual salary system problems and the improvement plan in addition to the investigation of the recognition of employees related to the outcome annual salary system of recent public agencies. Performance annual salary system of public agencies was introduced in conjunction with the evaluation of the public agencies. Performance annual salary system of this way were studied something that it have been properly secured, what is problems generated by the annual salary system fusing process and improvement about them. According to the study, It found that there are various problems like strong negative perceptions of overall performance annual salary system, the sense of discomfort occurrence associated with the implementation of the outcome annual salary system, salary piling of objectivity for the performance evaluation, etc. In order to improve these problems, It is necessary to converse of negative recognization, eliminate discomfort of performance annual salary system, provide fair evaluation criteria of the outcome, and due to the implementation annual salary system, and clarification of sectoral performance concepts and criteria.
