Analysis, benchmarking and reporting
Benchmarking
and reporting is in development and planned for implementation in 2020. The
benchmarking system will be based on the animal treatment index (a count-based
indicator). Other analyses are foreseen
using dose-based indicators, namely the prescribed daily dose and the treatment
intensity.
