Despite the rapid growth in routine computerized data collection within the National Health Service (NHS), and the increased use of such data for generating hospital statistics and doctor activity rates, few validation studies exist. During a study of 158 acute medical admissions, and examination of hospital data revealed numerous and systematic inaccuracies. If general practitioner (GP) performance statistics are to be reliably based on such sources, data validation, staff training, and protocols for data entry should form a routine part of NHS practice.
尽管英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)中常规计算机化数据收集迅速增长,且此类数据在生成医院统计数据和医生活动率方面的使用也有所增加,但验证研究却很少。在一项对158例急性内科住院病例的研究中,对医院数据的检查发现了大量系统性错误。如果要可靠地基于此类来源得出全科医生(GP)的绩效统计数据,那么数据验证、员工培训和数据录入协议应成为NHS实践的常规组成部分。
