As the pre and post-procedure PROMs are very similar, issues were generally the same for the post-procedure tool as for the pre-procedure tool, with one main difference whereby Question 2 (relating to the duration of palpitations) was updated to add a "Stopped" option, as participants felt that this was clearer than asking patients to omit the question if not applicable.
Although early studies of the outcomes of articular cartilage repair have been performed using tools designed for other surgical procedures, tools designed specifically for cartilage repair are becoming available.
The evolution of this architecture incorporated systematic research and investigation of the basic elements of the MDM process, associated procedures, tools and the potential impact of different characteristics of medical groups.
Key features of the resulting framework include function-based searching and automated inter-domain reasoning to uniquely enable identification of functionally similar procedures, tools, and inventions from multiple domains based on simple semantic searches.
Emerging from empirical studies in the manufacturing industry, the paper highlights the need for systematic procedures, tools and metrics able to encompass customer satisfaction together with the producer's value perspective in such assessment.
This prior knowledge might have been obtained based on awareness and past experience of process engineers in factors such as changes in operators, materials, procedures, tools, and policies which may lead to increasing or decreasing step changes in the Poisson rate.
In all countries, the necessary procedures, tools, and terms of reference were reviewed or established (Table 1).
Developing more standardized monitoring procedures, tools, and reporting expectations would make the monitoring process less duplicative and more efficient, and it would increase the likelihood that monitoring results would be used to improve ECD.
Through this procedure each tool component was separately optimized.
Participants were allowed to access the Internet and search any other procedure or tool that could help in answering the questions.
