An easily accessible package was designed to enable midwives to compare how closely the information they recorded on the original perinatal morbidity statistics form corresponds with information recorded in the medical record: 37 hospitals validated 2197 medical records. The results showed that whilst most information was recorded reliably, some items caused problems for those completing the form. The findings encouraged midwives to change inefficient data collection practices. The project has improved the validity of data plus reduced the workloads of hospitals and the Perinatal Data Collection Unit with respect to queried items. © 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd Articles nationallicence Birth register nationallicence data validation nationallicence quality assurance program nationallicence perinatal nationallicence midwife nationallicence International Journal for Quality in Health Care Oxford University Press 7/4(1995-12), 391-397 1353-4505 7:4<391 1995 7 intqhc https://doi.org/10.1093/intqhc/7.4.391 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/intqhc/7.4.391 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- ROBERTSON HELEN Research & Liaison Midwife, Victorian Perinatal Data Collection Unit, Department of Health and Community Services, 115 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 3065 NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- International Journal for Quality in Health Care Oxford University Press 7/4(1995-12), 391-397 1353-4505 7:4<391 1995 7 intqhc Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
