In this open-label, non-comparative study, patients undergoing OI preferred administering gonadotropins using the follitropin alfa prefilled pen compared to their prior use of vials/ampoules and a syringe. Patients using the prefilled pen found it less stressful, easier to use and more convenient than a conventional syringe and would recommend the pen to another woman considering gonadotropin treatment.
Management of resources in geographically distributed operations environments such as call centers poses many challenges including: (1) identifying which measures should be used as key performance indicators, (2) creating a shared view of performance management across geographical boundaries and enforcing usage of a common set of performance indicators. The present paper describes results from a multiyear effort to address these two challenges. A set of models were developed by leveraging functional modeling concepts proposed in the area of human-machine systems. These were used to specify the information required and how it must be used in monitoring and managing call center agents' performance. These models were the key building blocks of a user-centered design approach used to develop Web based performance management tools. A description of modeling process as well as an overview of the resulting tools and their impact on operational efficiency are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
