Based on the detailed methodological and theory utilization quality assessment, several limitations of the reviewed studies were noted, such as the lack of prospective studies; the use of single informant and questionnaire measures; insufficient use of theoretical frameworks; and unclear conceptualization and operationalization of the parenting constructs.
Consequently, better utilization of assessment to influence learning has long been a goal in higher education (HE), though not one that has been met with great success (Gijbels et al. 2009; Heijne-Penninga et al. 2008; Nijhuis et al. 2005).
Resource utilization and cost assessment was performed from the perspective of the hospital and included length and direct cost of PACU stay, as well as the acquisition costs of rescue anti-emetics in PACU.
BACKGROUND: : Although patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is known to predict health services utilization, most risk assessment systems use provider-reported diagnoses as predictors rather than HRQOL.
Disease-severity scoring systems are used for stratification of patients for utilization management, performance assessment, and clinical research.
The calculation of shares of the different components over total utilization allows the assessment of trends of domestic utilization versus exports, for example.
We selected two processes of care to study the potential association: head computerized tomography (CT) scan utilization and nystagmus assessment documentation.
Education among health professionals, age-targeted clinical trials, frequent and detailed pain assessment, utilization of multiple modalities concomitantly, and the development of common guidelines can facilitate the effective delivery of pain control.
Despite recommendations and availability, utilization of severity assessment tools has lagged behind use of other guideline elements [ 15, 16], due to difficulty in calculating scores at the bedside as well as environmental features that influence the admission decision.
