Welcome to Quality Pulse, a groundbreaking scientific methodology designed to assess and measure the quality culture within FDA-regulated life sciences companies. Quality Pulse is a powerful tool that provides actionable intelligence to help company leadership direct and implement improvement programs that will result in better quality outcomes and improved organizational excellence.
About Quality Pulse
Quality Pulse was developed specifically for FDA-regulated life sciences companies and is based on established research including Edgar H. Schein's Organizational Culture Principles, Peter Senge's Systems Dynamics Principles, and numerous research articles on corporate culture, quality culture, and organizational behavior. By combining these principles with industry-specific knowledge, Quality脉冲 offers a comprehensive understanding of an organization's core qualities and how they drive its unique cultural footprint.
The脉冲 Rhythm: Regularity and Disorder
The pulse rhythm is the tempo at which a pulse is felt, which is usually regular, meaning that the frequency of the pulsation stays consistent. However, in certain conditions such as sinus arrhythmia, the pulse rhythm becomes irregular, varying with the respiratory cycle. A regular pulse rhythm is indicative of good cardiovascular health, while an irregular rhythm may suggest underlying conditions such as atrial fibrillation.
Points to Consider
- Determine if the pulse rhythm is regularly irregular or irregularly irregular.
- A regularly irregular pulse rhythm is highly specific to atrial fibrillation, which can lead to decreased stroke volume, cardiac output, blood clots, stroke, and heart failure.
The Pulse Rate: Speed and Intensity
The pulse rate is the number of times a pulse is felt per minute, and it is usually measured by starting at one. The rate varies depending on the rhythm, with thirty seconds used for regular rhythms and multiplied by two for reports in beats per minute. An irregular rhythm must be counted for one minute.
Practice on Many People
To become skilled in measuring pulse rate, it is helpful to assess it along with an expert, as there is a subjective element to the scale. For example, a 1+ force (weak and thready) may indicate a decreased stroke volume and be associated with conditions such as heart failure, heat exhaustion, or hemorrhagic shock. A 3+ force (full and bounding) may reflect an increased stroke volume and be associated with exercise and stress, as well as abnormal health states including fluid overload and high blood pressure.
The Pulse Force: Strength and Elasticity
The pulse force is the strength of the pulsation felt when palpating the pulse. It is recorded using a four-point scale: 3+ full, bounding; 2+ normal/strong; 1+ weak, diminished, thready; 0 absent/non-palpable. Pulse force reflects the volume of blood, the heart's functioning, and cardiac output, as well as the walls' elastic properties.
Practice on Many People
Practice measuring pulse force on many people to become skilled in assessing this component. It is important to assess pulse force along with an expert because there is a subjective element to the scale. A 1+ force (weak and thready) may reflect a decreased stroke volume and be associated with conditions such as heart failure, heat exhaustion, or hemorrhagic shock. A 3+ force (full and bounding) may reflect an increased stroke volume and be associated with exercise and stress, as well as abnormal health states including fluid overload and high blood pressure.
The Quality Pulse® Methodology
The Quality Pulse® methodology consists of assessing multiple pulse qualities, including pulse rhythm, rate, force, and equality. This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights into an organization's quality culture, including areas of strength, areas of development, and potential risks.
