Total number tumor records sent to HTR = 10,389, representing 9,591 unique KPH HRNs.
We had 73% exact matches, and 17% based on 24 combinations of fewer matching variables where the omitted key variables did not agree. Even with both parties holding patient identifiers (name, address, DOB, gender, etc., matching KPH records to HTR records is a significant challenge.
This slide shows that we still have unmatched cases at each end of the data transfer even with fuzzy matching.Both the unmatched cases and fuzzy data linkages are sources of measurement error.
