For three further outbreaks (yellow fever virus in Guinea, Bounouma subprefecture, August 2008 [ 16]; Salmonella typhi in central Myanmar, September 2000 [ 17]; Borrelia spp. relapsing fever in Southern Sudan, 2000 [ 18]), the mode of detection was unclear, but time to detection was available: these are included in the timeliness findings (see below).
In light of the myriad of factors known to impact on evaluation use, including stakeholders' receptiveness to findings and perceived need for action [ 17, 18], political contexts [ 3, 17], perceived quality of evaluations [ 17, 18], methods used to communicate findings [ 17], and timeliness of findings [ 17], this 'translational gap' is perhaps unsurprising.
"We are finding improvements in the timeliness and depth of data being put into Cerner".
The benefit is calculated as the difference in the timeliness between syndromic surveillance and clinical case finding in those simulations in which detection occurred first by syndromic surveillance.
Timeliness of outage detection as well as accuracy in finding outages on equipment in a telecommunication network depend on the monitoring system used and its performance.
These struggles may be associated with altered expectations about timeliness of response and the challenge for physicians of finding available time in their day to process the messages.
Finally, we assessed, over a range of specificity, the sensitivity and timeliness of syndromic surveillance and the detection benefit of syndromic surveillance compared with clinical case finding for each simulated outbreak.

According to a review of factors determining knowledge translation in decision-making [ 53], the two elements most associated with the use of knowledge from research results are the timeliness of the scientific findings and the relationships between the researchers and decision-makers.
