Excerpt

There are different tools to evaluate the efficacy of the system. Indicators are one of them. An indicator is a measure done in a critical point and the resulting value has to be within a pre-determined range. A deviation in the result of an indicator requires a study of the cause and an action to improve the system in that particular issue.
