Chronotope analysis fills an important gap in the science through compensating current health sciences' focus on rationality, cognition, and prospective time (prediction) with a patient-oriented focus on emotionality, embodiment, and retrospective time (nostalgia).
The absence of QIs that incorporate patient or family preferences, needs or values has been identified as an important gap in the science and practice of injury quality improvement.
We now discuss the potential of chronotope disruption to fill an important gap in the science and to impact the way we approach chronic illness: first as a concept around which to organize analytical insights, considered with respect to each of the three strands of our analysis, and second, more broadly, as a concept around which to develop practice.
However, this work identified an important gap in the science and practice of injury quality improvement, the absence of QIs that incorporate patient or family preferences, needs or values (n = 0/1,572 QIs identified in Research Synthesis and n = 19/11,460 QIs identified in International Audit of QI Practices).
It is now 2000, and while there are many advances still to be made in minimizing gender gaps in the sciences and other professions, the situation for women is gradually improving.
