So, there you have it: revenue generation, economic efficiency, social equity, administrative simplicity, federal consistency, and political feasibility -- all need to be achieved at the same time.
These databases are based on administrative coding, and consistency in results obtained from >1 data source potentially indicates a higher chance of accuracy.
External data sources, such as survey data, provide a means of assessing the consistency of administrative data and may be used to adjust statistics based on administrative data sources.
From inconsistency came consistency.
As all this suggests, a consistent theme in an administration not know for consistency has been its dedicated use of the administrative machinery to roll back regulation.
8 9 20 Efficiency enabled rapid information exchange through administrative channels, improved productivity and consistency, and better communication between clinical and administrative departments.
They either check the consistency of the administrative health data against medical records [ 17- 20, 28] or against another source of maternity data such as national birth registers [ 29- 31].
Multicast transmission is employed to transmit updated information among participants in order to reduce network latencies, while system consistency is maintained by an administrative server.
To evaluate consistency between self-report and administrative data the Kappa statistic and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
The consistency of self-reported and administrative data for these two conditions likely occurs because these conditions have clear objective criteria for diagnosis and require ongoing medical treatment.
Combined, these findings indicate coding consistency among coders, and provide the administrative data with face validity.
