Impact score description
High impact | Should be strongly supported and made immediately available to patients. This would result in allocation of resources possible. |
Moderate impact | Should be supported, and it should be made available to patients as a back-up option. This would result in allocation of some resources, but also include some restrictions. |
Minor impact | Can be supported; it can be made available to patients, but only if certain criteria are met. This would result in limited resources being allocated as available. |
No impact | Should not be supported; it should not be made available to our patients unless no other options exist. No institutional support allocated. |
Note: Resources indicate items such as coordinator/person time, essential study supplies, and personal protection equipment.
