The 'Critical Values Reporting' survey measures the documentation of successful notification according to the given laboratory's policy, but does not assess the timeliness of actions directed to patient care (http://www.cap.org).

"Reasonable minds may differ regarding the timeliness of my actions," Mr. Verniero said in his statement.
In December, Mr. Verniero said that while "reasonable minds may differ regarding the timeliness of my actions," the need for reform "did not become sufficiently compelling in my opinion until 1999".
We studied the quality and timeliness of public health actions during the reemergence of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Europe from January 2004 to February 2006.
Thus, there will be two indicators in measuring coherence, i.e., (1) existence and timeliness of joint-assessment and/or joint-humanitarian action plan and (2) qualitative performance coordination mechanism and information sharing, while the criterion of coverage concerns on the need to reach major population groups facing life-threatening suffering wherever they are.
Timeliness of care results from a combination of actions by the treating physicians, "the system" (the various clinics and staff involved in the patients care), and patients themselves.
Furthermore, linking laboratory results to public health actions and increasing the timeliness of case follow-up are critical to reducing delays in the investigation of outbreaks [ 6].
Timeliness of reporting is likely to be affected more by actions taken at local and intermediate levels than national-level provision of information to WHO.
Countries where the completeness and timeliness of TB notification has not yet been evaluated should take similar action to strengthen surveillance of TB.
This paper examines the timeliness of rating changes and identifies factors which result in 'stickiness' of rating actions.
