We used NDVI as a proxy control for the growing conditions of the area during the growing season immediately prior to administration of the DHS survey; it is the average NDVI for December, January, and February prior to DHS implementation (June through November 2010).
Given that one is interested in the effect of the system after it had been implemented, and not during the first implementation month when it may have been used only for a few days or by a few physicians, we set the dummy for e-prescription to be one when the municipality reported at least 50 reimbursement claims for electronic prescriptions.
Inasmuch as such a change often requires a lengthy rollout period, the agency should consider the knowledge that might be gained by implementing a rollout in which program participants are randomly assigned an implementation month over a period of 12 months or so.

The original deadline for their full implementation, December 2000, has been set back to 2004, and even that now looks unrealistic.Clipping the army's wings was central to the peace deal.

Phase 2 was immediately after implementation (October 1st to December 31, 2010) (CPOE protocol group).
Therefore, the exposure to the new protocol was facilitated by a process that occurs frequently (on average 3 to 4 patients were using continuous infusions of sedation every morning in the initial implementation month); in smaller and less acute units it may be difficult to have such intense exposure to a new process and the implementation period can be much longer.
