The main contributions of this paper are the provision of both an algorithmic approach for setting the WorldFIP BAT (using RM and EDF) and a feasibility test to check a priori the timeliness requirements of the periodic data transfers.
Improving the timeliness of testing and treatment was recognised to be a key strategy to reduce population prevalence.
At the very least, it appears to improve the timeliness of lab test ordering.
In particular, inclusion of perimetry and optic nerve assessment as part of the optometry test schedule is likely to improve the timeliness and accuracy of referral.
In an evaluation of a telephone-based anticoagulation service, Waterman found that patient satisfaction with warfarin management was associated with the timeliness of receiving blood test results from the service provider [ 19].
To test the variation in sensitivity of timeliness of outbreak detection, we analysed the predictions of all 102 definition combinations against outbreaks in an interior state (Matto Grosso do Sul, A6, 2010), an urban south eastern state (Rio de Janeiro, B8, 2011) and a northern state (Maranhão, C4, 2007) all with differing DENV transmission dynamics (Fig. 5).
Dr. Tubb said he followed general medical guidelines that in recent years have focused more on the timeliness of performing certain screening tests like measuring blood pressure and detecting early colon cancer than on general physical exam.
But Doug Wood, the lawyer for the Millennium Import Company in Minneapolis, which markets Belvedere, said the the timeliness of Grey Goose's taste tests should be an issue.
Nucleic acid amplification methods have the potential to improve the timeliness, sensitivity, and accuracy of the tests used to detect respiratory pathogens.
It is possible, however, that mis-reporting could affect the timeliness of outbreak detection, which was not tested here.
