The subject for the Nicholas Research Award 1983 was prompted by the author's earlier involvement in quality assurance and her realization that there was a need to investigate the economic aspects of the subject. In a comparative study, the paper shows that the running costs of a basic quality assurance programme are probably less than 1% of the overall running costs of an 'average' five roomed X-ray department. Future professional implications associated with quality assurance are also discussed.
1983年尼古拉斯研究奖的主题是由作者早期参与质量保证工作以及她意识到有必要对该主题的经济方面进行调查而引发的。在一项比较研究中，该论文表明，一个基本质量保证计划的运行成本可能不到一个“普通”五间房X光科室总运行成本的1%。文中还讨论了与质量保证相关的未来专业影响。
