Sammanfattning
The objective was to test the reliability and validity of morbidity data recorded by general practitioners (family physicians) on structured recording forms in active data collection systems. The consulting general practitioners recorded the problems managed at 347 video-taped doctor-patients contacts. Two observers independently viewed the video-tapes and completed a recording form for each. Problems were centrally coded, using the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC). The conclusion was that morbidity data actively collected by GPs provide a reliable overview of morbidity managed in general practice.
