Appendix 2. Summary of ISO-SMAF case-mix classification profiles according to patients' functional autonomy characteristics on the SMAF.
The SMAF can also be used with a case-mix classification system (Iso-SMAF) to allocate resources based on patients' functional autonomy characteristics.
Recently, a new case-mix classification was developed to better allocate resources based on the functional autonomy characteristics of patients as indicated by the SMAF [ 15, 16].
Organizational climate, job autonomy, job characteristics and work processes were mentioned as either facilitators or barriers on an organizational level.
Results also illustrate a need for considering a broader set of autonomy-related characteristics when examining the effects of women's status on children's educational outcomes.
In sum, our findings suggest that women's greater ability to make decisions in this context tend to benefit their daughters' schooling and indicate the need for considering a broader set of autonomy-related characteristics when examining the effect of women's status on children's educational outcomes.
Higher levels of school autonomy are a characteristic of many higher performing systems - headed by China, the Netherlands, the UK and Hong Kong (which is considered as a separate school system in such education rankings).
Cells acquire the autonomy that is characteristic of living systems through a complex set of integrated, metabolic activities.
Through our study, we propose three more themes that are relevant in hospitals in developing countries: physician's characteristic (autonomy), physician's involvement in developing CDSS and physician's belief about CDSS.
Also, enriched job characteristics (autonomy, complexity, and task significance) are more important in predicting change-oriented behavior, than un-enriched job characteristics (routinization and formalization).
