Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program
External Validation
The CPSP utilizes a multi-level system of checks and balances to confirm the overall quality and reliability of its data. Case ascertainment is monitored and verified by investigating duplicate reports and comparing data with the following programs/centres:
- Canadian Association of Paediatric Health Centres
- Canadian Institute for Health Information
- Canadian Paediatric Decision Support Network
- IMPACT (Immunization Program ACTive) centres
To ensure completeness of case ascertainment so that investigators can capture the data necessary for proper analysis, the CPSP has set a goal of 90% participant response.
