These datasets contained information that included patient's age, sex, admission date, discharge date, diagnosis, medical expenses, medication expenses, laboratory examination items, and operational codes.
Figure 1 depicts this cross-cultural adaptation phase, including conceptual and item equivalences, semantic equivalence and operational equivalence.
For each assessment, we omitted scores on the nine misfitting items and ran the NAEP operational analysis to recompute the subgroup means (rounded and converted to the NAEP operational score scale) and the percentage of examinees at different proficiency levels.
All IIS line item costs were separated into developmental and operational costs.
However, a bacterial component in a water re-use system dedicates itself entirely to excessive nutrient removal and the required capital and operational expenses are cost items that contribute to the scarcity of commercial successes of such systems.
Although a few global quality of life instruments contain items that address physical activities and limitations, conceptual and operational definitions for the PLA provide transparency in measurement of participation in life activities.
Functional equivalence (the combined effect of assessing conceptual, item, semantic, operational and measurement equivalence) was assessed by a group of specialists with regard to the behavior of the instrument and the possibility of comparisons to studies conducted in different cultures.
The 20 items checked off included hefty budget cuts and merging of administrative and operational functions.
The 12 items provide a representative sampling of the content of the 8 health concepts and operational definitions of those concepts, including what respondents are able to do, how they feel, and how they evaluate their health status.
The arbitrary decision to keep items solely on the grounds of higher factor loadings could lead to problems, as this ignores semantic and operational subtleties.
These items were initially classified into clinical (relating to patients and clinical events on the shift), organisational (relating to staffing and efficiency) and operational (relating to admission pathways and facilities).
