Average nominal VA medical, fee-basis and pharmacy cost per patient for the three-years were significantly higher for the lower health literacy levels compare to the adequate group; for example: $17,033 for adequate, $23,508 for marginal and $31,581 for inadequate health literacy.
Examples are the need for adequate time, funding and training [ 6], accurate clinical documentation [ 7, 8] and computer-supported interactions among physicians and patients [ 10, 11].
Second, it is usual to devise broad inclusion criteria – for example adequate randomisation for RCTs – and to exclude studies that fail to meet these.
For example, having adequate supplies for your guests is key, both for service and their future reviews.

For example, the Institute of Medicine guidelines for adequate intake of total water for the USA and Canada (3·7 and 2·7 litres/d for adult men and women, respectively) were established based on median total water intake from US survey data, under the assumption that in large population studies, fluid intake will be greater than or equal to body water needs.

For example, adequate processes might mean a perfunctory activity is conducted annually to meet listing requirements or pay lip service to best practice governance.
Safety is paramount and safe installation activities may require additional equipment and more time, for example, adequate barriers and pressure testing.
