The second problem in measuring timeliness is that intervals for notification and latent periods are not fixed but distributed, possibly with a large variance.
After five months, the multisource feedback group showed significant improvements in "communicating effectively with the patient and family (35%; 95% confidence interval, 11.0%-58.0%), timeliness of completing tasks (30%95%5% confidence interval, 7.9%-53.0%), and demonstrating responsibility and accountability (26%95%5% confidence interval, 2.9%-49.0%)," but only when rated by nursing staff.
Studies with comparable data on surveillance intervals and timeliness are few in number [ 6- 9].
Outcomes measured at three month intervals include timeliness of care, patient adherence, patient satisfaction, quality of life, self-efficacy, health literacy, and cancer knowledge.
We also estimated baseline vaccination coverage, timeliness and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and used chi-square tests to compare coverage across age cohorts, taking into account the sampling design.
For timeliness, we divided the interval as 'not delayed' and 'delay in diagnosis' (see Materials and methods for definitions).
Timeliness of care for the intervals evaluated was similar between the provinces for lung cancer patients but significant differences were found for colorectal cancer patients.
Timeliness is determined by the interval between any two steps within a surveillance system.
Most timeliness studies focus on the interval from the histologic diagnosis of malignancy to the initiation of treatment.
