Data completeness for the Hospital Based Complex Clinical Care Census will be reported separately in the Hospital Based Complex Clinical Care Census publication (due to be released 27th Sept 2016).
The Scottish Government's Scotxed Unit provide data collection and validation support for a number of statistical returns across Education, Health, Social Care, Social Work, Transport, Housing, Communities, Finance, Justice, Environment and some 3rd Sector. The Scotxed Unit provided secure data collection software (procxed.net) and first stage data validation checks. Further information about the data collection software can be found in the Privacy Impact Assessment which is available here: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Health/DataSupplier/Census2016.
Health & Social Care Analysis Division undertook 2nd stage validation checks.
The data collection, analysis and report has been overseen and produced by statisticians. All statistics branches in the Scottish Government are part of the Government Statistical Service (GSS) which comprises the statistics divisions of all major departments in the UK, Scotland and Wales plus the Office for National Statistics, which has a coordinating role.
A Privacy Impact Assessment was undertaken prior to the census which outlines how patient confidentiality is maintained. The Privacy Impact Assessment is available here: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Health/DataSupplier/Census2016.
In addition, statistical disclosure control has been applied to the analysis. Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) covers a range of ways of changing data which are used to control the risk of an intruder finding out confidential information about a person or unit (such as a household or business). This publication has used the following methods where there are under 10 patients in a particular category:
Suppression of possibly disclosive cells (e.g. where the value is small) which means that the value for that cell in the table is not given and secondary suppression of cells which means at least one other value in the row or column is also not given to ensure that disclosive cells can not be deduced through subtraction;
The International Classification of Diseases (10th Revision) has been used in the analysis for specific health conditions. The health condition and relevant ICD-10 code can be found in the following table:
F11 - F19
F21 - F25, F28 - F29
F38 - F39
F40 - F45, F48
F50 - F55, F59
F60 - F66 and F68 - F69
F70 - F73 and F78 - F79
F90 - F95 and F98
