To better delineate these needs and usage patterns, we conducted a survey of Canadian anesthesia residents.
Detailed information on all aspects of the respondents' lives was collected in the CAPI, including economic status, health aspects (physical, mental, service needs and usage) and social participation.
We hypothesized that anesthesia residents have clear podcast content needs and usage patterns which may depend on the year of training.
It is also true that there may exist inverse causality running from healthcare needs to dual eligibility: high levels of healthcare needs and usage may lead to qualifying for Medicare and Medicaid.
With respect to health needs and usage of health services, the existence of chronic pathologies (requiring health care for a period greater than 6 months), hospitalizations over the last year, and number of visits to a primary health physician in the last year, were studied.
Notably, elderly patients have disproportionately high need for and usage of health care.
During the initial intelligence phase, a systemic analysis of the needs and usages enables to define the product requirements.
Information needs and media usage in times of disaster are not uniform across society, but, rather, vary depending on the characteristics of the impacted populations.
Many authors have used information as the focus of their research; in contrast, our study examined both information needs and document usage by engineers.
The main advantage of this new limiter is its simplicity in implementation, especially for the unstructured meshes considered in this paper, as only information from immediate neighbors is needed and the usage of complicated geometric information of the meshes is largely avoided.
