This idea can be operationalized using the statistical concept of discriminatory accuracy (DA) that is routinely used to evaluate diagnostic tests and is increasingly being applied to the study of biomarkers and risk factors in epidemiology.
The highly qualitative relationships among these concepts are operationalized using the Analytic Network Process (ANP).
These variables have all been operationalized using the publicly available data from the World Bank.
The hypothesis that temporary migrants supply more hours than their permanent counterparts can be operationalized using a household production model as developed by Becker (1965).
As well, our data are somewhat dated, although we believe that the data are appropriate for documenting baseline measures of quality of care by RWP status, and demonstrating how the Institute of Medicine's recommendation to use population-based data to evaluate quality of care can be operationalized using data from a population-based, clinical outcomes surveillance project.
Trauma-exposure severity will be operationalized using data from the BTQ, 2001 Violence Questionnaire, and updated adult violence exposure.
Adding to the complexity of this hierarchical model of PS, TS, and TS-M, each class of instrumentation can be operationalized using measures that differ on a context-specific to context-general continuum.
Unfortunately, trial eligibility criteria tend to be written without concern for their computability, thus limiting their ability to be operationalized using rule-engines or database query languages in or in order to satisfy the logical conditions defined by the criteria in an automated manner.
