We introduce the concept of "timeliness" to quantify the balance in time between the hydrological response of catchments to heavy storms and the human reactions.
Largely missing from the policy debate is empirical evidence of how doctors in the front line of diagnosis, typically GPs, construct, interpret and manage the concept of timeliness.
While such studies have contributed significantly to our understanding of GPs' experiences of diagnosing dementia and factors impacting on early diagnosis, none has considered specifically the much used but poorly understood concept of timeliness.
The use of intervals such as latent period and generation time and the distributions of those intervals may allow better study of the concept of timeliness in infectious disease surveillance systems.
An earlier integer programme is modified to include the concept of relative timeliness.
Although quality of care is a complex and multidimensional concept including safety, effectiveness, timeliness, efficiency, equity, and patient-centredness (7), measuring signal indicators may provide some insight into the coverage and quality of care overall (8).
We developed a third order concept around the notion of timeliness of support: the provision of appropriate support and information, often repeatedly, tailored to the current needs and preferences of the patient, and their subjective understanding of the progression of their condition.
The course steps through conceptual design beginning with analysis of needs and objectives and proceeding to the exploration of ncepts and the selection of a concept that best meets goals of performance, timeliness, and affordability.
This piece originally debuted at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art, during 2012's Utopian Impulse: Buckminster Fuller and The Bay Area show, but the passing of a year has done nothing to undermine the timeliness and utility of this concept.
The different research areas that were introduced by outstanding keynote speakers attracted more than 250 scientists, showing the timeliness and relevance of the interdisciplinary concept and exchange of knowledge during the three days of the scientific program.
