The evaluation drew on sociotechnical principles.
“Our evaluation drew on sociotechnical principles.”
The depth of inquiry offered transferability beyond the immediate context of this evaluation because the study sampled from a range of hospitals, software systems, and stakeholders.
“As a result we obtained a rich and nuanced appreciation of the implementation and adoption of the NHS Care Records Service locally, the depth of inquiry offering transferability beyond the immediate context of this evaluation as we sampled from a range of hospitals, software systems, and stakeholders.19 88”
The study used a methodologically innovative design, captured contemporaneous multifaceted real time longitudinal data, and had theoretical grounding.
“We also used a methodologically innovative design,86 captured contemporaneous multifaceted real time longitudinal data, and had theoretical grounding.19 87”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
