A Simple Sampling Method for Estimating the Accuracy of Large Scale Record Linkage Projects.
BACKGROUND Record linkage techniques allow different data collections to be brought together to provide a wider picture of the health status of individuals. Ensuring high linkage quality is important to guarantee the quality and integrity of research. Current methods for measuring linkage quality typically focus on precision (the proportion of incorrect links), given the difficulty of measuring...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Decision-Making Methodology for Risk Response Planning in Large-Scale Projects
Risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. The conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response p...
متن کاملA Simple and Efficient Method for the Management of Multiple Electronic Health Record-Driven Phenotype Projects
Based on our experience of working with the Electronic Heath Record (EHR) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), we developed a simple method of good scientific practice for the management of multiple phenotype projects. Our method relies on the Google Sheets application (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/) that allows for cooperative editing of documents by multiple investigators a...
