Last summer, her caseload approached 100.
However, with a relatively small caseload of patients, it is not surprising that a high level of patient satisfaction has been achieved.
The new caseload's apparent effects are readily visible in the refugeeaffected areas' economic and physical landscape.
All adolescents were randomly selected from the open caseload of a local child protection agency that services a primarily urban county.
They do not have to dilute their practice with other kinds of cases, and thus are under pressure to enlarge their transplant caseload.
Furthermore, the individuals in question tend to be easily identifiable on t he caseload of the provider agency.
Another threat to generalizability would be if the "normal" caseload varies from place to place.
It could be argued that caseload might increase considerably and that other savings could be identified.
Note that the effect of caseload should be to increase the probability of voluntary departure, but should have no impact on those due to mortality.
