Diagram of conceptual framework representing the number of missed diagnostic opportunities. The diagnostic opportunity window represents the period of time where diagnostic opportunities may occur. The red line depicts the trend in the number of SSD visits that would be expected to occur in absence of diagnostic delays. The blue curve represents the observed trend in SSD visits during the diagnostic opportunity window. The shaded blue region corresponds to the number of missed diagnostic opportunities. The shaded red region corresponds to the number of expected SSD visits
