The calculations and measurements are from a detailed time and motion study (Pharmapod Analysis of Cost Savings, Aug 2015) that included analysis of each of the stages involved in each process. For example, when reporting a patient safety incident, initial entry to verification, follow up, validation, assessment and closure.
