The programs are payer-blind and designed to operate at-scale based on clinical and/or utilization criteria.
The main objective of this research is to investigate the utilization criteria of the recycled aggregates gained from construction and demolition wastes, in the production of various ready-mixed and precast concrete elements.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate and explore current beliefs about the use, the clinical importance, the theoretical fundamentals and the utilization criteria of TUS among physical therapists in Brazil, based on a representative sample.
The results show that by all three criteria used, the utilization of isolation beds has deteriorated following the move, mainly due to the increased admission of general medical 'boarders' and low-risk infection patients.
The purpose of this study is to examine current beliefs about the use, the clinical importance, the theoretical fundamentals and the utilization criteria of therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) among physical therapists on the clinical practice in orthopedic and sports physiotherapy in Brazil.
By that time, there were only a few media articles about the technology, mainly reporting about "fracking" in the U.S. In the beginning of 2013 the Bundesrat passed an initiative requesting the federal government to pass a law on "fracking" with specific criteria for the utilization of the technology [26].
Furthermore, the interrupted time series regression analysis allowed us to obtain more valid estimates of the impact of co-payment and national reimbursement criteria on the utilization of statins compared to a pre-post design [ 1, 34, 46].
This study showed that the change in the national reimbursement criteria influenced the utilization of statins in Italy, determining a statistically significant reduction in the upward trend of prescriptions.
Whilst outcomes for major trauma cases are more likely to be adverse and sustained, our investigation has demonstrated that many injuries, which by service utilization criteria alone (e.g. not admitted to hospital) can be assumed not to represent a significant threat to life, do nevertheless represent significant threat of disability, albeit relatively short-term after injury.
In other international jurisdictions, prioritization and utilization criteria have adopted non-clinical factors, such as age, into explicit waiting-list management systems to reflect common societal values and to help improve the consistency and transparency of the triage process[ 5, 10].
