Provenance A CHAIR Registration Officer collects the data at each hospital. CHAIR data (2002 to 2007) was essentially in two forms:  personal data in the local database (within the hospital)  ‘anonymised’ data (no MRN, no name and no address) in the central database (located in Dublin). The personal data in the hospital database is information from the patient medical record. In 2007 CHAIR adopted the European CARDS ACS dataset. This entailed new software (and a new software provider) and the use of web-enabled access with data protected within the HSE South firewall.
