Correctness of diagnostic information was assessed using semi-subjective criteria (table 1) under the categories "total correctness", "partial correctness", and "absence of correctness".
Table 1 shows the number of cases in each category in the assessment of correctness of diagnostic information for the diagnoses recorded in the CCR.
The principal aim of this study was to evaluate the completeness and correctness of diagnostic information in a computerized equine clinical database compared to corresponding hand written veterinary clinical records, used as gold standard, and to assess factors related to correctness.
Definition of criteria used for assessing correctness of diagnostic information in computerized clinical records (CCR) compared to the corresponding veterinary clinical records (VCR) and number of cases in each category in a sample of visits (in 396 visits including 491 individual diagnoses in the CCR) at 18 horse clinics in Sweden during 2002.
Further, the same test was used to investigate the difference in proportion of correctness on diagnostic information for first and follow up visits, for whether a diagnostic code was explicitly written in the VCR and for first and follow up visits for system joint, respectively.
Overall, the completeness and correctness of the diagnostic information in this clinical database was excellent, although varying according to body system affected.
The main aim of this study was to assess the completeness and correctness of the diagnostic information in computerized clinical records (CCR) in a sample of visits at these equine clinics by comparing the computerized information to the corresponding hand written veterinary clinical records (VCR).
A similar level of the estimated correctness for diagnostic information was found for investigated body systems in a validation of an equine insurance data base, whereas the correctness for specific diagnoses was lower (84%) [ 22].
In case the follow-up was too short, we assumed correctness of the primary diagnostic procedure to estimate the upper border of the rates (sensitivity analysis).
Gerald Estrin wrote what may be the first engineering type of diagnostic code that permitted the team to examine every toggle and gate in the machine for correctness of operation.
On balance, Muslims have always favoured orthopraxy (correctness of practice) over orthodoxy (correctness of doctrine).
