We have had to make the simplifying assumption that such improved back-office procedures affect all areas equally, so that differences between resource combinations (telemedicine, hospital level) and the baseline condition are attributable to the resources themselves.
Considering companies of the US construction industry whose risk of failure increase initially with increasing age, reach a peak point and decrease thereafter as companies grow older, Kale and Arditi (1998) conclude that young failures can be attributable to inadequate resources and capabilities (relative to initial endowments).
The cost attributable to human resources is complicated by the product of two components: expenditures attributable to the providers, and the number of such providers.
The simplified equation is: The expenses attributable to a resource require the calculation of the total cost incurred to make the resource available for patient care.
Sediments were exposed to CO2 and hydro-geochemical effects were observed in order to improve general understanding of trace metal mobility, quantify carbonate influence, assess risks attributable to fresh water resources from a potential leak and aid monitoring measurement and verification (MMV) program design.
This is attributable to diminishing forest resources, fewer TLAs and the corresponding reduction of harvested forest products.
While IPD studies may more often obtain unpublished data and provide opportunity for data checking and updating, such features are not inherent to IPD meta-analyses but are largely attributable to the great resources and time devoted to such studies.
The lower satisfaction of health workers in the public sector, compared to the non-governmental or private sector, is also not always attributable to significantly worse resources or remuneration (27, 31, 70).
Most of the intervention costs (£250 per patient) were offset by reductions in inpatient days, attributable to a few resource-intensive patients.
The majority of these costs are attributable to the incremental resource utilization for patients who were not admitted specifically for hyponatremia, but whose hospitalization was prolonged due to hyponatremia.
The average total per patient cost during the 2-year period was Can $5,180 (year 2010), with 51.6% of costs ($2,677) attributable to use of nonmedical resources such as transport and loss of productivity and Can $2,503 attributable to medical resources.
