Data record linkage is the process where we determine if a record in one file matches to one or several records in another file. Currently, the TCR uses software named "Link PlusTM" and "Automatch" that enables us to perform probabilistic linkages. For additional information about data record linkages or if you would like to have a record linkage done with your data, please contact Paul Betts, M.S., Senior Research Epidemiologist at Paul.Betts@dshs.state.tx.us 1-800-252-8059 (in Texas), or 512-305-8506 (outside of Texas).
