The objective of this study was to assess and compare the relative accuracy of claims data and patient self-reported information with medical records for Pap smear rates. A retrospective analysis of information obtainedfrom administrative claims files, patient medical records, and a telephone survey was performed of 400 women age 19 through 75years who were randomly selectedfor participation in the study. The data were obtained from a large multispecialty group practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the study years 1991 through 1993. Information from administrative claims regarding Pap smear status corresponded highly with information in the medical record (sensitivity 95% or higher; specificity 95% or higher; kappa 0.896 or better). Self-reported information from the telephone survey did not correspond well with medical record information nor with results in administrative claims.
