How quickly do approved procedure changes reach daily work?
Measure version exposure across repositories, links, copies, and completed cases.
Research question: After a procedure becomes effective, when does its new version appear at each work surface?
Scope: ten weeks around scheduled changes in one named process and a surface inventory fixed in advance.
Methodology: Inventory approved versions and effective events, then sample cases weekly with the source identifier visible at work time, surface, access result, and correction.
Unit of analysis: one eligible case paired with its controlling procedure at work time. Stable identifiers prevent messages and edits from inflating the denominator.
Classification: current, valid prior, stale link, stale copy, ambiguous effective time, unavailable, or untraceable. Observable states remain separate from causal judgment.
Measures: time to uptake, mismatch prevalence and duration, affected cases, correction direction, and recurrence. Report counts, denominators, distributions, and missingness.
Validation: Independently reconstruct cases crossing effective dates and cases handled through backup coverage.
A Philippines-based specialist may collect permitted records and apply the frozen codebook. Internal owners retain privacy, security, legal, financial, employment, policy, and customer-remedy decisions.
Use named access, minimum necessary data, documented retention, and de-identified reporting where practical. Record exclusions before outcome review.
Inference limits: Timing locates exposure windows; a mismatch does not prove an outcome changed or that stale guidance was knowingly used.
Limitations: Caches may be invisible, effective-time metadata incomplete, and rare surfaces undersampled.
Conclusion: Prioritize source controls by measured exposure while keeping outcome claims separate.
