Population. The Population shall be defined as all Paid Claims during the 12-month period covered by the Claims Review.
Population. The Population shall be defined as all Paid Claims during the three-month period covered by the Quarterly Claims Review.
Population. Based Initiatives (PBIs) and Experience Rebates: HMO may subtract from an experience rebate owed to the State, expenses for population-based health initiatives that have been approved by HHSC. A population-based initiative (PBI) is a project or program designed to improve some aspect of quality of care, quality of life, or health care knowledge for the Medicaid population that may also benefit the community as a whole. Value-added service does not constitute a PBI. Contractually required services and activities do not constitute a PBI.
Population. The Population shall be defined as all Patient Stays for which at least one Paid Claim was submitted during the 12-month period covered by the Claims Review.
Population. The Population shall be defined as all Paid Claims during the 12-month period covered by the Inpatient Medical Necessity and Appropriateness Review.
Population. A particular species in a particular group or in a definable place (i.e., the Great Basin population of Columbia spotted frogs).
Population trend estimate – in descending order: Declining, Fluctuating, Unknown, Stable and Increasing, and with estimates taken from the latest CSR.
Population. In 2018, the population in your selected geography is 5,012. The population has changed by 0.68% since 2000. It is estimated that the population in your area will be 4,985.00 five years from now, which represents a change of -0.54% from the current year. The current population is 43.17% male and 56.83% female. The median age of the population in your area is 22.06, compare this to the US average which is 37.95. The population density in your area is 1,595.94 people per square mile.
Population. A collection of individuals having personal or environmental characteristics in common (AACN, 2008). Preceptor: An experienced registered nurse who provides direct supervision of student clinical learning experiences at the clinical agency where the preceptor is employed. The preceptor acts as a facilitator of student learning and serves as a role model who is immediately available in the clinical setting. Preceptors are employed by the agency where the student is placed for clinical experience (NHHS, 2006).
Population. Our study included all consecutive patients older than 17 years who were transported to our ED by ambulance and for whom the paramedics made contact with the BH. We excluded patients who died on route, those for whom transportation was aborted and those who did not have a CTAS score assigned by both the BH and an ED nurse. Data collection The BH nurses did not have direct access to patients; they assigned a CTAS score on the basis of transmitted xxxxx xxxxx via the Ortivus terminal and the verbal infor- mation given by paramedics during ambulance trans- portation. For long transport times, triage had to be per- formed within 15 minutes of arrival. On arrival at the hospital, each patient was triaged by the ED nurse who was blinded to the score assigned by the BH nurse. The ED nurse completed the process of triage using the xxxx- dardized procedure with a paper-based decision support system. Of note, the study took place before the 2008 CTAS revision. The triage process was not computerized and the score was assigned by nurses from the clinical information. Once the nurse assigned the triage score, it was entered using either the BH or ED software. A trained research assistant abstracted data from the BH and ED databases into a Microsoft Excel spread- sheet using a standardized form. Abstracted variables included patient characteristics and BH and ED CTAS scores. Data analysis We estimated interrater agreement with quadratic weighted κ statistics along with asymptotic 95% confi- dence intervals (CIs). As described by Xxxxxx,11 we xxxx- gorized κ agreement as very good (0.81–1.00), good (0.61–0.80), moderate (0.41–0.60), fair (0.21–0.40) or poor (< 0.20).
