This article said: "H4 will not change method of collection of data." If the object of study is how patients fare then we will likely want to give H4 collectors the info of patients with IDs. If we expect collectors to identify this then we risk studying how well collectors identify this rather than how well patients fare, i.e. we risk missing patients with IDs on the control ward.
