Use of medical record linkage to study readmission rates. [PDF]
BMJ, 1989 Readmission rates after inpatient care were studied by using routinely collected data from the Oxford record linkage study for 1968-85. Discharges from hospital and subsequent admissions were identified for people who were both resident and treated in the area covered by the linkage study.

A Federated Record Linkage Algorithm for Secure Medical Data Sharing [PDF]
Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie, 2021 The process of consolidating medical records from multiple institutions into one data set makes privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) a necessity. Most PPRL approaches, however, are only designed to link records from two institutions, and existing ...
