We also used logistic regression to analyse the dichotomous outcome provision of help with money or material goods, including equivalised household income as an additional co-variate, but report only briefly on results of this here due to limitations of space.
However, without information about case-mix and outcomes, the provision of cost information alone was probably an insufficient incentive for hospitals to take action to address cost differentials [10].
The most important factor enabling sustainability outcomes was provision of benefits to partnership members.
Other studies support efficiency and improvement in health outcomes in provision of outpatient care across boundaries [ 40].
Our study has been designed to meet the needs of a screening programme for overweight in children, principally notification of outcomes and provision of suitable treatment pathways.
Technical skills in providing continuous care during childbirth may be more influential on birth outcomes than provision of antenatal social support.
Despite potentially desirable outcomes, ART provision in developing countries is limited: by the end of 2005 only 20% of the global population in need had accessed to therapy [ 4].
The main outcomes were provision of selected inputs and adherence to evidence-based care practices before and after the intervention, which was phased into individual facilities between Dec 2010 and Aug 2011, and was implemented for 12 18 months in each facility.
This is the auditing of current care practices or resident outcomes and provision of the resulting data as feedback to care providers, in an effort to influence their clinical practice [ 6, 7].
Practices which enhance autonomous choice in health care, e.g. physician initiated discussions of the subject of EAS at an early stage [ 67], or granting the wish of the patients as the motive to provide EAS [ 13], may influence direction and outcomes of provision of care [ 3, 19, 66, 68, 69].
