BORN to be validated: Assessing agreement between Ontario’s birth registry and CIHI-DAD
Overall, the BIS and CIHI-DAD databases had high agreement on most maternal data elements; however, further examination is necessary to explore discrepancies identified.Implications for health information management practice:As the BIS is newer than the CIHI-DAD and uses a different method of data abstraction, routinely evaluating and enhancing data quality is crucial for providing accurate and valid evidence for health policy, surveillance, and research.
