Prioritization Framework

SummaryBackground: We previously devised and published a guideline for reporting health informatics evaluation studies named STARE-HI, which is formally endorsed by IMIA and EFMI.Objective: To develop a prioritization framework of ranked reporting items to assist authors when reporting health informatics evaluation studies in space restricted conference papers and to apply this prioritization framework to measure the quality of recent health informatics conference papers on evaluation studies.Method: We deconstructed the STARE-HI guideline to identify reporting items. We invited a total of 111 authors of health informatics evaluation studies, reviewers and editors of health Informatics conference proceedings to score those reporting items on a scale ranging from “0 – not necessary in a conference paper” through to “10 – essential in a conference paper” by a web-based survey. From the responses we derived a mean priority score. All evaluation papers published in proceedings of MIE2006, Medinfo2007, MIE2008 and AMIA2008 were rated on these items by two reviewers. From these ratings a priority adjusted completeness score was computed for each paper.Results: We identified 104 reporting items from the STARE-HI guideline. The response rate for the survey was 59% (66 out of 111). The most important reporting items (mean score ≥ 9) were “Interpret the data and give an answer to the study question – (in Discussion)”, “Whether it is a laboratory, simulation or field study – (in Methods-study design)” and “Description of the outcome measure/evaluation criteria – (in Methods-study design)”. Per reporting area the statistically more significant important reporting items were distinguished from less important ones. Four reporting items had a mean score ≤ 6. The mean priority adjusted completeness of evaluation papers of recent health informatics conferences was 48% (range 14 –78%).Conclusion: We produced a ranked list of reporting items from STARE-HI according to their prioritized relevance for inclusion in space-limited conference papers. The priority adjusted completeness scores demonstrated room for improvement for the analyzed conference papers. We believe that this prioritization framework is an aid to improving the quality and utility of conference papers on health informatics evaluation studies.

Prioritization Framework

Few agencies or land owners have sufficient resources to target every non-indigenous plant species (NIS) population once they have become established within a management area. Therefore, prioritization of NIS populations for management is a crucial component of the management process. Conceptually, effective management of NIS can be regarded as having four phases that revolve around the land management goals and how best to manage the NIS present in the area to achieve these goals. The key phases are determining the land management goals, inventory/survey, monitoring, evaluation and prioritization. Inventory/survey determines which species are present and their distribution within the landscape. These data can be used to develop probability of occurrence maps, which help in the nonbiased selection of populations for invasiveness and impact monitoring. Monitoring for invasiveness provides information on spatial and temporal changes within a population. Monitoring for impact assesses three types of impact: the impact of the NIS on the ecosystem, the impact of the management/control practices on the NIS, and th e impact of management/control practices on the ecosystem. These data can then be used to evaluate and prioritize which species and populations to manage, and how to manage them, and these decisions should then be extended over the area of interest. The management advantages provided by a population prioritization framework were evaluated with a simulation model and supported the importance of monitoring and prioritization to reduce metapopulation growth.

AbstractTigers Panthera tigris face a wide and complex array of threats. Given limited time and resources it is essential to direct conservation actions based on the relative importance of each threat. The Sundarbans Reserve Forest is the last stronghold of tigers in Bangladesh and supports one of the largest populations of tigers in the world. As in other tiger landscapes, the threats faced by the tigers have yet to be assessed. This study follows an approach developed by The Nature Conservancy to identify and prioritize threats and set a time-frame for their reduction. We identified a total of 23 threats; four were linked to tigers, two to prey and 17 to habitat. Of the identified threats, the highest ranked included poaching of tigers, poaching of prey, sea-level rise, upstream water extraction/divergence, wood collection, fishing, and harvesting of other aquatic resources. All threats were then scheduled for reduction, based on the rank and current information base for each threat and the likely time-frame for implementing potential solutions. This study demonstrates how the application of a prioritization framework can greatly improve the focus and likelihood of success of any species- or ecosystem-based conservation programme.
