(Redirected from Interims)

Interim refers to a temporary or provisional period of time between two events or phases. It is often used in various contexts such as business, governance, education, and medicine to describe a temporary arrangement or solution until a more permanent one is established.

Business[edit | edit source]

In the business world, an interim period can occur during transitions such as mergers, acquisitions, or leadership changes. An interim CEO or interim manager may be appointed to lead an organization temporarily while a search for a permanent executive is conducted. This role is crucial for maintaining stability and continuity within the organization.

Governance[edit | edit source]

In governance, an interim government or interim administration is a temporary government formed to manage the affairs of a state until a new government is elected or established. This can occur in situations such as political transitions, revolutions, or after the collapse of a previous government. The primary goal of an interim government is to ensure a smooth transition and maintain order.

Education[edit | edit source]

In the field of education, an interim report or interim assessment is a progress report given at a midpoint in the academic term. These reports provide students, parents, and educators with an update on academic performance and areas that may need improvement before the final grades are issued.

Medicine[edit | edit source]

In medicine, an interim analysis is a type of analysis conducted before the completion of a clinical trial. This analysis helps to determine if the trial should continue, be modified, or be stopped early due to efficacy or safety concerns. Interim analyses are critical for ensuring the ethical and scientific integrity of clinical trials.
