A study of the patient register at Kopata Medical Centre, was undertaken to determine its accuracy. A 10% sample gave an inflation rate of 4.2% and an overall accuracy of 92.4%. There had been a great improvement in the accuracy over the last seven years and we conclude this is mainly due to considerable use of the register for patient recall.
