This restriction also prevented us from considering points of care that fall outside the care of the cancer agencies such as pre-diagnosis and post-treatment follow-up; equally important intervals of care for which information related to timeliness of care is needed.
Effective supplementation of passive surveillance of pertussis is needed to improve the timeliness of public health responses to a potential outbreak of the disease.
Improvement is needed, but, through auditing, the system tracks the timeliness and completeness of reporting and speciation of all Bacillus organisms, including, potentially, the next B. anthracis isolate.
Further study is needed to assess how the laboratory confirmation process influences the timeliness of diagnosis or reporting by doctors.
Thus, further study is needed to understand the relationship between improvements in reducing the timeliness gap and the timely reporting of outbreaks.
Thus, further study is needed to better understand the association between civil liberties and the reporting timeliness gap.
Field testing of the PHSkb is needed, however, to determine its impact on surveillance metrics such as sensitivity, timeliness, and data quality.
Officials attribute the program's success to its consultative approach that involves political and business leaders; to the country's small size; and to its timeliness, saying it was there when it was needed.
Our experience in 2010 shows that better preparedness plans for outbreak response are needed to improve the timeliness of such interventions.
Further field testing will be needed, however, to determine the impact of such methods on surveillance sensitivity, timeliness, and data quality.
