| Abstract | Over the years, in Portugal, the volume of electronic hospital records has increased significantly. Data is daily generated and then sent to a central database in the Ministry of Health's Central Administration for the Health System (ACSS), which, after aggregation, is sent to Regional Health Administrations (ARS) and other institutions. Given the scope of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto (FMUP) as a teaching and research institution, and as a result of collaborations established with ARS North and ARS Center, the data that each intervener has access to was provided. Thus arises the motivation for writing this article, seeking to ascertain dissimilarities between different data sources and the possible implications of these differences to the hospital production numbers and consequently to its funding. To achieve our aim we used a tool to calculate indicators, namely the indicators “Inpatient data” and “Case-mix”, selected to represent the hospital production. The results obtained show significant differences between the data obtained directly from the five hospitals present in this study and the aggregated data obtained from ACSS. This kind of data is commonly used in many studies for various purposes such as epidemiologic studies or hospital performance management. It is never too much to stress the need to be aware of possible data disparities among different data sources, even if the primary source is the same. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
