Personnel Data Congruence Between SAMS and CHCS

摘要

This preliminary study was conducted to support development of a shipboard chronic disease condition prevalence study. The purpose of this study was to describe the percent congruence between the personnel records identified by SNAP (Shipboard Non-Tactical ADP Program) Automated Medical System (SAMS) and the Composite Health Care System (CHCS). The reliability of CHCS to link shipboard personnel to their proper command Unit Identification Code (UIC) needed to be established before conducting epidemiological research and disease management interventions.
