| Annotation | The authors describe the linkage process and characteristics of a combined set of information from two data sources - Medicaid claims and a sample of data on nursing home quality assurance - to assess its strengths, limitations and potential uses. The two data sources, one cross-sectional and the other longitudinal, complemented one another and provided a more complete description of patient resources use and health status. However, methodological and ethical issues must be resolved before data linkages are used routinely for research. |
