Criteria for an optimal linkage representation are proposed, and the research voids in that context are identified.
Optimal linkage is sought between curative and preventive care, public health, government, and social welfare organisations.
In this project, optimal linkage is sought between curative and preventive care, public health, government, and social welfare organisations.
The objective of this review is to synthesise the existing published literature and to identify predominant reoccurring themes noted in citations, to form a framework for integrated primary/secondary health care governance, applicable to an international community, which allow optimal linkage between meso-level organisations [ 13, 14].
Sub-optimal linkages between districts with and without VCT in Vietnam appeared to be related to operations of donor-funded projects [ 18].
On the horizontal continuum, the availability of HIV testing for tuberculosis patients and pregnant women was limited and there were sub-optimal linkages between tuberculosis, antenatal care and HIV services except for Cambodia and Thailand.
In Myanmar and Vietnam, for example, limited access to HIV testing and counseling by key populations may be related to geographical discrepancy in service provision and possible sub-optimal linkages across these projects [ 18, 35- 37].
In Myanmar, Nepal, PNG and Vietnam, PITC for TB cases and pregnant women was constrained by sub-optimal linkages between district and sub-district levels and/or between districts with VCT and districts without VCT.
The optimal IBD linkage model for multiple family analysis appears to vary among studies and traits; disconnected models are superior when QTL allele effects vary considerably across families, possibly due to epistatic interactions with the family genetic background (Blanc et al., 2006; Coles et al., 2010; Steinhoff et al., 2011, 2012).
Our findings suggest that the combination of surname, sex and date of birth appears to be optimal using deterministic linkage.
