For defining convergent validity, the standardised Questionnaire on staff satisfaction in medical rehabilitation was used [ 33, 34].
These were backed by 'hi-tech work protocols' such as prioritising work through dispensing baskets, standardised communication systems between staff, and between staff and customers, regimented transport system for prescription collection and delivery, highly organised medicines storage equipment and organised physical space.
Realistic, standardised 'down stream' staffing levels and revised scopes of practice should be developed and universally implemented.
Our target was to identify a technique being able to define a standardised communication framework between staff with a computer science background (IT and software developers), clinical staff (surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, management) and management.
This assessment includes administration of standardised assessments by research staff not involved in treatment delivery.
LPIs and healthcare professionals will assist in operationalising the standardised recruitment strategy for staff and patients.
Trained study staff conducted standardised telephone interviews with adolescents aged 11 or older.
Data collection from notes review will be carried out by practice staff using standardised questionnaires.
Appropriate training on infection control to staff, and standardised health education of patients on cough etiquette, based on validated tools, should also be included in the infection control plan.
Weight, height and waist circumference were measured by trained staff during standardised health checks at baseline in all centres, except for a proportion of participants in Oxford (UK) and France, for whom self-reported data were obtained, and Umeå (Sweden), where waist circumference was not measured.
