IntroductionData linkages can produce rich data resources to address a variety of research topics. However, assessing linkage quality can be challenging given that there are many approaches and no clear best practices. Objectives and ApproachThrough its Data Linkage Program, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) links national survey data with vital and administrative records. A recent linkage of the National Hospital Care Survey data with the National Death Index employed a new linkage methodology, which included a first time approach for validating the results within the linkage algorithm. ResultsThe new methodology includes two passes: a deterministic linkage, followed by a probabilistic approach based on the Fellegi-Sunter methodology. In the second pass, a key identifier, Social Security Number (SSN), was not used as a linkage variable but instead to determine link accuracy, when available on the patient record. A model was then built to predict link accuracy status according to the computed Fellegi-Sunter total pair weight and then used to estimate it for those patient records without an SSN. Results from this new approach were compared with results from prior linkage methodologies and generated higher match rates and lower error rates. The linkage methodology designed for this study is now being tested on other types of input data such as data from household surveys. Conclusion/ImplicationsThe linkage approach may be incorporated into additional linkages conducted by NCHS. This talk will describe the input sources for this linkage, the methodology used, the error rate assessment and then discuss conclusions and implications for precision and efficiency.

Background: The care partners of hospitalised older adults often feel dissatisfied with the education and skills training provided to them, resulting in unpreparedness and poor health outcomes. Objective: This review aimed to characterise and identify gaps in the education and skills training used with the care partners of older adults in the hospital. Methods: We conducted a scoping review on the education and skills training practices used with the care partners of hospitalised older adults in the USA via sources identified in the PubMed, PsychINFO and CINAHL databases. Results: Twelve studies were included in this review. Results illustrate that nurses utilise multiple modes of delivery and frequently provide education and skills training tailored to the needs of care partners at the latter end of hospital care. The provision of education and skills training varies greatly, however, including who provides education, in what way information is conveyed, and how care partner outcomes are measured. Conclusion: This is the first scoping review to describe and synthesise the education and skills training practices used with care partners of hospitalised older adults. Findings highlight the need for education and skills training to be interprofessional, tailored to individual care partners’ needs and begin at, or even before, the hospital admission of older adult patients.
