Using personal health insurance numbers to link the Canadian Cancer Registry and the Discharge Abstract Database / by Dianne Zakaria, Richard Trudeau, Claudia Sanmartin, Patricia Murison, Gisèle Carrière,...: CS82-003/2015-6-1E-PDF

"Linking cancer registry and administrative data can reveal health care use patterns among cancer patients. The Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) contains personal health insurance numbers (HINs) that facilitate linkage to hospitalization information in the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD). Valid HINs, captured in the CCR or obtained through probabilistic linkages to provincial health insurance registries, were used to deterministically link prostate, female breast, colorectal and lung cancers diagnosed from 2005 through 2008 with the DAD for fiscal years 2004/2005 to 2010/2011"--Abstract, page 3.
