It is, by nature, a most untimely quality that's barely hanging on in a time when timeliness is all.
D.Y.: The last issue was not only about time but timeliness, extending the practices of being on time to mean that you're actually fashionably late up until the point where … G.F.: … you might as well do something else.
For any real time system timeliness and throughput are equally important but are obtained on the compromise of each other.
It will require careful attention to process over time including timeliness of reviews, useful revisions to projects, and input from multiple perspectives and stakeholders including patients.
These 'MacGyver drivers' are: 1) Differences in organisational 'culture' such that the research institution and the health service provider or funder do not respect each other's requirements; 2) Time and timeliness constraints imposed by public policy implementation demands; and 3) Constraints of intellectual property and ownership limitations.
Timeliness: Time consistency and reliability of the provided products and/or services within acceptable by the user a priori defined time of initiation and completion for the provision of the required port services.
We included two process measures of care timeliness: (1) time from diagnosis to initiation of treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or admission into palliative care or hospice) and (2) time from diagnosis to referral to palliative care or hospice.
Chemoprophylaxis, preferably administered within 24 hours after identification of the index case, is the primary means for preventing meningococcosis, and the ability of health services to identify contacts in time, depends largely on timeliness of reporting.
We also found no difference in the three key measures of timeliness of care (time from onset of symptoms to presentation to a provider, time from presentation to a provider to diagnosis, and time from diagnosis to initiation of treatment) between patients with and without Axis 1 MHC.
Either percentages of sites achieving timeliness targets or time lag averages can also be used as a quality metric to be followed over time.
