Summary
This study analyzes National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) data to understand patient migration patterns in England and Wales. Findings reveal migration trends over a decade, comparing NHSCR data with 1991 Census figures.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
Background:
- The National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) is an administrative dataset.
- Patient registration data can track population movements.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine migration patterns using NHSCR data.
- To compare migration data from NHSCR with Census data.
- To assess the representativeness of annual migration data.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the TIMMIG database system for time-series analysis of NHSCR migration data.
- Incorporated mid-year population estimates.
- Compared NHSCR in-migration data with 1991 Census data for Family Health Service Authority (FHSA) areas.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated the utility of NHSCR data for analyzing migration at national, regional, and local levels.
- Provided preliminary comparisons between NHSCR and 1991 Census migration data.
- Highlighted the potential for using migration time series to contextualize annual movements.
Conclusions:
- NHSCR data offers valuable insights into patient migration dynamics.
- TIMMIG database facilitates comprehensive analysis of population mobility.
- Migration data from administrative sources can complement census data.
