The Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Sentinel Surveillance System in South Korea: Retrospective Evaluation Study

The Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Sentinel Surveillance System in South Korea: Retrospective Evaluation Study

The evaluation attributes included timeliness, stability, completeness, sensitivity, and representativeness (Multimedia Appendix 3). These attributes have been widely used to evaluate infectious disease surveillance performance at the country level [17,18]. For consistency and comparability, we used a quantitative scoring scale from 1 to 3 for each indicator: weak (1), moderate (2), and good (3), from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2022.

Effectiveness and Experiences of Quality Improvement Interventions in Older Adult Care: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review

The review will consider various dimensions of care quality, such as accessibility, appropriateness, safety, efficacy, effectiveness, timeliness, patient-centeredness, and equitability [21,22]. Each subsection will also be covered to obtain a comprehensive insight into health and care quality. For example, the 5 dimensions of accessibility, that is, approachability, acceptability, availability and accommodation, affordability, and appropriateness, will be considered and explored [23,24].

Wait Times for Scheduling Appointments for Prevention of Macrovascular and Microvascular Complications of Diabetes: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

Defined as “the system’s capacity to provide care quickly after a need is recognized [6], timeliness in health care is associated with insurance type [7,8] and a lack thereof has been shown to delay treatment initiation [7,9,10]. Therapeutic inertia, or “lack of timely adjustment to therapy when a patient’s treatment goals are not met” [11], can be dire, yet research demonstrates it remains prevalent in Western countries [12].

Leveraging Community Health Workers and a Responsive Digital Health System to Improve Vaccination Coverage and Timeliness in Resource-Limited Settings: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation Hybrid Study

Leveraging Community Health Workers and a Responsive Digital Health System to Improve Vaccination Coverage and Timeliness in Resource-Limited Settings: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation Hybrid Study

Our hypothesis is that Chanjo Kwa Wakati is effective for increasing the timeliness of childhood vaccinations due by age 1 year compared with the standard of care. The primary outcome measure used to evaluate intervention effectiveness will be a continuous measure of the timeliness of the third dose of the pentavalent vaccine (Penta3), due at age 14 weeks, and determined using the birth and vaccination dates abstracted from official vaccination cards issued for the child.

Evaluation of the Liver Disease Information in Baidu Encyclopedia and Wikipedia: Longitudinal Study

Evaluation of the Liver Disease Information in Baidu Encyclopedia and Wikipedia: Longitudinal Study

This study aimed to evaluate the quality of liver disease information provided by Wikipedia in English and Baidu Encyclopedia in Chinese and we aimed to perform a comparison of the quality of the research in these resources and the timeliness of the recent updates in the research between these 2 resources. Since the update frequency on the internet is high by day and by hour, 3 years can be considered as an extended period for evaluating the changes in the information over a long interval during follow-up.
