| Abstract | Health maintenance organization (HMO) administrative databases have been used as sampling frames for ascertaining nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). However, because of the lack of tumor registry information on these cancers, these ascertainment methods have not been previously validated. NMSC cases arising from patients served by a staff model medical group and diagnosed between 1/1/07 to 12/31/08 were identified from claims data using three ascertainment strategies. These claims-data cases were then compared to NMSC identified using natural language processing (NLP) of electronic pathology reports (EPR), and sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) calculated. Comparison of claims data ascertained cases to the NLP demonstrated sensitivities ranging from 48-65% and specificities from 85-98%, with ICD-9-CM ascertainment demonstrating the highest case sensitivity though the lowest specificity. HMO health plan claims data had a higher specificity than all payer claims data. A comparison of EPR and clinic log registry cases showed sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 99%. Validation of administrative data to ascertain NMSC demonstrates respectable sensitivity and specificity though NLP ascertainment was superior. There is a substantial difference in cases identified by NLP compared to claims data suggesting that formal surveillance efforts should be considered. |

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.
