Linking national primary care electronic health records to individual records from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey: evaluating the likelihood of linkage based on patient health
Our work supports evidence-building across government consistent with the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 and the goal of leveraging data as a strategic asset. Given the high PIK and ACS match rates, with small differences based on health condition, our findings suggest the feasibility of enhancing the utility of EHR data for research focused on health.
