The preconditions for good quality case management described in Verkade et al.[ 22] were confirmed in both models to be important facilitating factors, although the extent to which they facilitated the quality of care differed between the models.
This raises the question of whether particular system characteristics facilitate higher quality of care, better data recording or both.
The raises the question of whether particular characteristics of computing systems facilitate higher quality of care, better data recording or both.
17 From our perspective, together these results emphasise the importance of having organisational processes that facilitate the quality of care and patient safety.
The use of these electronic health data holds great promise to contribute to improving clinical practice and medical research, to support health care planning and to facilitate quality control of medical care.
EHRs not only facilitate improvements in quality of care [10], [11], they also facilitate clinical research and epidemiological studies, particularly as they increase the availability of patients' longitudinal medical information [12], [13].
Early identification of patients at risk might facilitate improvements in quality of care.
3) The unweighted age and sex stratified random samples are designed to facilitate analysis of quality of care between communities.
