The results informed a model for immunization coverage improvement that emphasizes the dynamics of immunization systems at district level.
This will be an iterative process that will produce an understanding and inform a model that will be developed to describe the care pathways experienced.
In most cases where a multiplicity of datasets are used to inform a model, there will be some degree of dependency between them.
These data informed a model that was used to predict the 15-year survival and effects of conservative and radical treatments in PSA-detected localised prostate cancer.
26 If an ABM is to be used as a means of knowledge integration, then the inclusion, or omission, of specific data used to inform a model should be appropriately justified.
By using an iKT approach and best practice evidence to inform a model of care for frail elderly persons requiring cardiac surgery, it is anticipated that the project will influence the healthcare system in a variety of ways.
The results from 12 districts informed a model for immunization coverage improvement that emphasizes the dynamics of immunization systems at district level and maps a pathway to coverage improvement.
As a solution, the female:male positivity ratios from studies of blood donors in neighbouring countries (Singapore [ 22] and Thailand [ 23]) were included to inform a model parameter that defines the female prevalence as a proportion of the prevalence among males.
This experience has informed a model for professional development wherein workshop teachers begin the workshop by setting "group norms" to create a supportive learning environment (such as respecting others' opinions, sharing speaking time, and refraining from being judgmental) and devising strategies to let program staff know when they felt overwhelmed by complex material.
The aim was not to evaluate these interventions, but rather to use the context of changes to explore what health and wellbeing concerns the public had, and to use this in combination with evidence from the literature to inform a model of the pathways that link street light reductions and wellbeing.
