We present a genome assembly from an individual male (whiskered bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,081.20 megabases.
The study aimed to reduce the rate at which patients do not respond to validation letters sent by hospitals, using a redesigned letter that included "nudges" as an intervention.
A total of 2,855 participants were divided into a control group receiving the standard letter and an intervention group receiving the new version.
Results showed that the intervention group had a significantly lower non-response rate (19.24%) compared to the control group (23.97%), leading to improved patient compliance with the validation process, which has now been adopted by public hospitals in Ireland.
