Dear All,

To enable tracking of individual VAs and to allow for the linking of the VA results to other records for a particular death, a “uniqueID” field should be introduced into the WHO 2016 VA questionnaire.

This should be a text field and the Hint should indicate that implementers should use a robust method to obtain a unique ID for each VA and preferably the unique ID should be the same as is used in other records regarding the particular death (e.g. death registration number), thereby allowing for the linkage between the VA results and other records about the death.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Martin
