Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Psychiatric Care
  • Data Management

Background:

  • Establishing a psychiatric record linkage system requires addressing practical challenges.
  • Previous literature often omits crucial operational details for such systems.
  • The Kingston Psychiatric Record Linkage System (KPRLS) was developed in Eastern Ontario.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the establishment and operation of the KPRLS.
  • To detail the practical issues encountered during system setup and ongoing function.
  • To provide a useful resource for others planning similar record linkage projects.

Main Methods:

  • The paper outlines the rationale, background, and methodology of the KPRLS.
  • It details practical issues including funding, facility cooperation, start-up, costs, and data handling (collection, linkage, entry, processing, storage, analysis).
  • The study discusses the system's limitations and applications.

Main Results:

  • Key challenges such as financial support and inter-facility cooperation were successfully resolved.
  • The KPRLS has been functioning effectively since its inception in 1984.
  • The paper provides previously unpublished "mundane details" crucial for planning.

Conclusions:

  • The KPRLS demonstrates a successful model for psychiatric record linkage.
  • Sharing practical implementation details is vital for the success of similar health informatics initiatives.
  • This experience-based account aims to benefit future record linkage system development.
