The methods are compared in term of precision, ease of implementation and appropriateness to the problem type.
Our results showed an association between CG implementation and appropriateness in hospital care.
We investigated the implementation and appropriateness of Variable Life Adjusted Displays as a quality control procedure to monitor "in-control" versus "out-of-control" processes in Victorian public hospitals.
The emerging results support the recent suggestion for less of a focus on conducting RCTs in health, that the quest for improved evidence does not necessarily align with an RCT approach [ 5, 6, 8], with more research needed which looks at 'wicked' [ 35] problems of the implementation and appropriateness of telecare/telehealth.
Constructivist grounded theory was chosen as the most suitable method due to its ability to explain program implementation and its appropriateness for Indigenous Australian settings [ 12, 14, 15].
Geriatric medicine services, pharmacist interventions in patient care, implementation of appropriate prescription criteria and computerized decision-making support systems can improve the appropriateness of prescribing for the elderly in ambulatory-care settings [ 49- 52].
The second phase in 2007 expanded the accreditation standards to include performance appraisals, patient care, staff competency testing, appropriateness and implementation of policies and procedures, and additional medical specialties.
Reviews that include diverse study types help to answer questions about intervention development, appropriateness and implementation as well as questions about effect [ 25], and usually no one study type can answer such complex (often policy-oriented) questions.
When, for example, the question of evaluation concerns guidelines or patients' needs, the enquiry will not begin with "Can it work?", but with "What are the different types of evidence (scientific, contextual and colloquial) required to answer the question of evaluation?" The questions of efficacy, effectiveness, appropriateness and implementation will be subordinated to the latter.
In addition, the draft monitoring tools and needs assessment guides were simplified based on the feedback expressed regarding their length and appropriateness for rapid implementation.
To ensure the appropriateness of the implementation procedures, the smoothness of the adopted online system, and the clarity of the instrument, two pilot tests were conducted prior to the actual study in the previous semester.
