OBJECTIVES: To develop order entry algorithms for five common nursing home problems and to test their acceptance, use, and preliminary effect on nine quality indicators and resource utilization.
MEASUREMENTS: Medical records were abstracted for the 6 months before and after deployment for quality indicators and resource utilization.
Whilst the 1980s showed a general improvement in most of the major health indicators and service utilization, attributable to the expansion and improvements in the area of primary health care [ 10, 16, 17], signs of deterioration were evident in the 1990s.
The Caesarean section (C-section) rate is used as an indicator for availability and utilization of life-saving obstetric services.
The variables have been classified into the following categories: mother and child variables, those capturing household amenities, and indicators of utilization of healthcare services and health facilities (Table 1).
This chapter presents an economic and environmental comparison of conventional and alternative vehicles and evaluates, based on actual cost data, the life cycle indicators for vehicle production and utilization stages.
Quantitative data were stored and analyzed in MS Excel to generate information on service frequency, intensity, and utilization indicators.
We will also evaluate 6-month changes in cardiometabolic (HbA1c, blood pressure, and LDL) and utilization indicators for all participants.
To facilitate interpretation across the 29 districts, we ranked and divided the districts into tertiles for select implementation strength and utilization indicators.
Since individuals can be linked across sectors, it is possible to examine a number of health status and utilization indicators of these individuals.
