UB-82s, those ubiquitous green forms hospitals rely on for proper reimbursement, also are being used as a research tool, a purpose for which they weren't designed. While the data have some valid applications, flaws such as inconsistent coding, distorted data and omitted information make their use unreliable for broad studies in such critical areas as quality of care and utilization.
UB - 82表格，这种医院用于合理报销的无处不在的绿色表格，也正被用作一种研究工具，而这并非其设计初衷。虽然这些数据有一些有效的应用，但诸如编码不一致、数据失真和信息遗漏等缺陷，使得它们在护理质量和利用率等关键领域的广泛研究中使用起来并不可靠。
