These levels are primarily determined by a computerised algorithm that is based on the responses to the questionnaire on current physical and mental status (74 items).
The therapy dependency tool (NPTDA [ 20]) is the therapy equivalent, which collates therapy inputs from the multidisciplinary team and also translates by a computerised algorithm into an estimation of therapy hours for each discipline (including medical staff).
The algorithm is described in this paper, and the full computerised algorithm can be obtained on request from the authors.
Only ascertained among those with a current episode characterized by functional and cognitive decline In the full sample of 2909 participants, 181 of the 315 10/66 dementia cases (58%) were confirmed as cases by the computerised DSM-IV algorithm.
Physiotherapists offer initial assessment and advice by telephone, supported by computerised algorithms, and patients are sent written self-management and exercise advice by post.
It translates by way of a computerised algorithm to the Northwick Park Care Needs Assessment [ 19], which provides an estimation of the total nursing and care staff hours.
The physiotherapist will follow a computerised algorithm (as developed by the PhysioDirect service in Huntingdonshire) to assess the patient and record findings.
Central Intelligence, Johnson and Hart's first pairing – and it's a natural pairing at that – is an asinine film with a plot so moronic one wonders if it were devised by some sort of computerised algorithm.
ICD-10 diagnoses were derived from the GMS interview, through the application of a computerised algorithm.
Randomisation was performed 1 1 using a computerised algorithm created by the database manager (JK) with concealed block size, pre-stratified for site of recruitment, initial APACHE II and age (entered in an encrypted screening form in a password protected website); investigators were masked to assignment before, but not after, randomisation.
