Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Proportion of participants in whom data can be obtained and matched from the in-hospital system and the EDGE2 platform – extract and link in-hospital data with other study data for each patient, success pre-defined as 80-90% – initiation of linkage will take place upon provision of consent with in-hospital data retrieved from point of index attendance/admission to discharge. 2. Proportion where there is sufficient data to provide clinically relevant data for use across the care pathway – obtain and link in-hospital data with other study data for each patient, success pre-defined as 80-90% – initiation of linkage will take place upon provision of consent with in-hospital data retrieved from point of index attendance/admission to discharge. | — |
