The degree of standardisation, cost of standardisation and time required to start the study were standardised on a scale from 1 to 10, with individual beta coefficients derived from the regression model using the normalised variables.
Gray wanted to maintain the idea of a local pub with its own style and yet, as a moderniser, he believed in a degree of standardisation.
In order to achieve a higher degree of standardisation, we fabricated plastic yeast cells and utilised them for the stamp imprinting procedures.
Edinburgh Corporation and Lothian Buses have historically employed a high degree of standardisation of their service bus fleet, including the use of low-floor buses to facilitate maintenance savings.
These categories reflect the nature and degree of standardisation applied to the data and lead to different expectations about the effects of independent factors on the data.
However, in view of the relatively high degree of standardisation of these services across the country and the existence of national guidelines, problems identified in this study are likely to be of relevance to services in other regions.
Although much of the UK is currently HbA1c DCCT-aligned, and primary care practices use National Health Service hospital laboratories which are members of quality assurance schemes, the degree of standardisation at the time of data collection (2002 2006) is not known.
One of the contributors to this in the UK was a Requirement for Accreditation of GP computer systems, which ensured there was a degree of standardisation between the systems.
While some local flexibility is essential, our findings suggest that future initiatives to improve test result follow-up both within and outside the VA should consider a higher degree of standardisation for the most vulnerable processes.
Another tension to transpire in our data, which illuminates our understanding of facilitation in the PARiHS framework, was the requirement for flexibility within GM-HFIT at the same time as some degree of standardisation to ensure the work was completed.
