Model Design. ‌ 1.2.2.1. Supervised learning analysis pipeline‌ Figure F1 illustrates the pipeline adopted for the supervised learning analysis towards the design and development of robust and generalizable predictive models to minimize training errors while considering the bias-variance tradeoff. These steps are described in more detail below. Initially, raw data were rescaled to zero mean and unit variance and ordinal variables were recoded into dummy binary variables. Cases and variables with more than 10% of missingness were excluded from the final dataset. Remaining missing values were replaced by the global median value.

Model Design. We developed a deterministic, age structured, dynamic model of NoV transmission that includes symptomatic and asymptomatic infections. The full model is illustrated by the flow diagrams in Figures 2 and 3, with parameters as defined in Table 4. The full model equations are described below. We assume that newborn infants have no maternal immunity; therefore all births enter into the susceptible class. All individuals in the susceptible class can be infected at rate λ(t) and they progress from the exposed class into the infected symptomatic class at rate μs. Individuals in the infected symptomatic class progress to the infected asymptomatic class at rate μa and move on to the recovered class at rate ρ. Individuals in the recovered class are assumed to have immunity to symptomatic disease, as opposed to asymptomatic infection, and they move from the recovered class back to the susceptible class at rate θ. However, individuals from the recovered class can also cycle back into the infected asymptomatic class at rate λ(t). One scenario required a slight adjustment to the model, and this version is also included below.

  • Program Design The County Human Resources Department will operate a Catastrophic Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition of the employee or family member. The program establishes and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or floating holiday be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible employee or to the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred to a requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury, or condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability which manifests itself during employment.

  • Schematic Design See Section 2, Part 1, Article 2.1.4, Paragraph 2.1.4.2.

  • Project Design Applicants must design a project that provides access to health services to enable eligible women and men experiencing health needs to secure and maintain safe and accessible quality screening and diagnostic services, comprehensive family planning, and/ or other women’s health services. A. Applicants are encouraged to emphasize the following components in the design of their projects. Projects must: 1. Use a collaborative approach to maximize existing community resources and avoid duplication of effort; 2. Enhance systems and local processes to make it easier for people to transition to, from, and between services; 3. Address barriers to ensure services are accessible to people regardless of setting or location; and 4. Promote improvement and positively impact health and well-being through coordinated service delivery. B. To be effective, services and activities provided or made available as part of the Proposed Project should have policies and procedures in place and include with the application as an attachment that: 1. Delineate the timely provision of services; 2. Deem Client eligibility and service provision as soon as possible and no later than 30 calendar days from initial request; 3. Require staff to assess and prioritize Client needs; 4. Implement with model fidelity to an evidence-based program or based upon best available research; 5. Plan in partnership with the person and are inclusive; 6. Provide in an environment that is most appropriate and based on a person’s preference including reasonable clinic/reception wait times that are not a barrier to care; 7. Provide referral sources for Clients that cannot be served or receive a specific service; 8. Are culturally and linguistically sensitive; 9. Tailor services to a person’s unique strengths and needs; 10. Manage funds to ensure established Clients continuity of care throughout budget year; 11. Continue to provide services to established Clients after allocated funds are expended; 12. Have processes to identify and eliminate possible barriers to care; 13. Do not deny services due to inability to pay; 14. Have appropriate key personnel and required staff to meet the medical and health needs of Clients; 15. Bill services appropriately and timely through TMHP; 16. Effectively communicate and document information related to health care needs with next steps available to Client; 17. Establish outreach and education plan for the community; and 18. Outline successful delivery of direct clinical services to Clients By submitting an Application under this RFA, the Applicant certifies that Applicant has or will have at time of grant award services, policies, or procedures that conform with the requirements in this section as applicable. HHSC, in its sole discretion, may request to review relevant documentation during the project period as necessary to ensure program fidelity.
