    Description

    The purpose of this project is to develop an approach to using quantitative bias analysis methods to adaptively determine whether and when medical chart validation can be stopped early within the context of Sentinel assessments.

    The newly developed approach will be applied to one or more completed Sentinel assessments in which medical record review for outcome validation was performed to test the empirical and practical performance of the method.
