The Knee Examination Form (surgeons' part) of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) cartilage injury evaluation package evaluates the subgroups knee joint effusion, passive motion deficit, ligaments, compartment, harvest site pathology, joint space, and functionality [ 38].
For fast design and optimization purpose, a finite element method (FEM) is adopted for sensor performance evaluation, packaging-induced signal variation, and thermal/packaging effects will be examined in this research.
The data were analyzed using DIFRAC plus Evaluation Package (EVA) software.
We found wide variations in claims utilization under the three MDR-TB packages with highest utilization in MDR-TB pre-treatment evaluation package - 627 (54%) and lowest utilization in MDR-TB follow-up evaluation package - 254 (22%).
627 (54%), 278 (24%) and 254 (22%) claims were respectively processed under MDR-TB pre-treatment evaluation package, MDR-TB hospital stay package and MDR-TB follow-up evaluation package [Table 3].
No claims were utilized under the MDR-TB follow up evaluation package from the private sector [Fig. 4].
Firstly, not a single claim was processed under the MDR-TB follow-up evaluation package from the private sector.
All centres are in the process of adopting the same evaluation package, with many having already achieved full implementation (Henry et al. 2011).
Trends in utilization of MDR-TB hospital stay and follow-up evaluation packages showed better utilization of claims from the public sector [Figs. 3 and 4].
Fig. 5 Disaggregated pooled (RSBY and MSBY) data on claims utilization of MDR-TB pre-treatment evaluation package by poor in the public sector from 2013 to 2015 Fig. 6 Disaggregated pooled (RSBY and MSBY) data on claims utilization of MDR-TB pre-treatment evaluation package by non-poor in the private sector from 2013 to 2015.
Low utilisation of follow-up evaluation package could also be attributed to its low package cost, and hence, is less attractive for processing claims under this package in both public and private sector.
