All transcripts were read repeatedly to ensure familiarity with the material before coding.
Expanded notes were explored through multiple readings to ensure familiarity with the data.
Analysis consisted of multiple readings of the transcripts to ensure familiarity with the data.
We conducted a full-day training session where simulated patients performed the scenario and, to ensure familiarity, practised device demonstration.
Two researchers (SB and MG) read all transcripts to ensure familiarity with the data and then one transcript was coded separately by each of them.
Involved hospitals and care stations had tables of organization to manage disasters and held regular drills to ensure familiarity with them.
Interview transcripts were systematically read and reread to ensure familiarity with the content, and initially coded using an open coding method [ 12].
In addition, if there is no clearly linked evidence base presented within a pathway, those using it will need to ensure familiarity with the evidence and ability to apply this as appropriate in each individual case.
Following transcription, we analysed responses to each message theme using thematic analysis [ 56]; the two lead authors independently read (and re-read) the transcripts to ensure familiarity with the content and identify similarities and differences in participants' comments.
At the end of the training, a skills assessment was conducted, to ensure familiarity with the protocol and achievement of the targets of < 20 seconds hands-off time and < 60 seconds from the start to application of the device.
An RHIS requirement in this triage process entails assigning and identifying patients with standardized triage tags, which should be a part of routine emergency care pre-disaster, and ensuring familiarity with this process and tags by all medical staff (PAHO 2000c).
