NFI assessments provide an essential service, reconciling available resources with national priorities related to timeliness, precision, and forest values of interest.
IHR 2005 contains several provisions that relate to timeliness.
There may also be issues related to timeliness and ownership of these global estimates.
Despite these impressive immunization coverage rates vaccine preventable diseases still occur, which might be related to timeliness [ 13, 14].
Due to the limited timeframe, our intent was to identify an initial step towards standardizing defintions and measures related to timeliness of care that would facilitate future decision-making and identify directions that would eventually include the cancer care continuum.
This restriction also prevented us from considering points of care that fall outside the care of the cancer agencies such as pre-diagnosis and post-treatment follow-up; equally important intervals of care for which information related to timeliness of care is needed.
Having defined quality as compliance with the care process, as this has been shown to be associated with patient outcomes, we developed 7 process QIs relating to the timeliness and organisation of breast cancer care.
Nine statements mainly relating to the timeliness and availability issues, in performing risk screening and care plan, and providing transportation and necessary equipment to the patients (Q1a, Q1f, Q2e, Q3c,Q3g, Q4d, Q4h, Q4j, Q4j) did not reach consensus on the "applicability" aspect.
This relates to timeliness, comparability, and understandability.
Although failures may not generate false results, there can be issues relating to the use and timeliness of tests if failure rates are too high.
Moreover, the results of our study might overemphasise the effect of transparency on the reporting timeliness gap because we were not able to analyse other factors related to the timeliness of reporting, such as IT and communication infrastructure.
