Change log
| Date | What changed | Why | Scope | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-24 | Restored 13 national key specialty rows for one hospital that were missing from the site. The published total went back to 1,105 rows. | The import channel removed escaped quotation marks inside a batch field, so that hospital's row data no longer parsed and the rows were dropped. | 1 hospital, 13 rows. No other hospital was affected. | Independent review of the national key specialty dataset, finding F1. |
| 2026-09-24 | Merged 34 pairs of same-name hospitals and unpublished the duplicate records. The published hospital count moved from 765 to 731. | Matching required a province and a city, and some sources do not state either, so two records for the same hospital never matched. Nothing was flagged, because conflict detection only ran when names differed. | 34 records unpublished and kept as drafts; every merged record keeps its predecessor reference. | Independent review of the hospital dataset, finding F2. |
| 2026-09-24 | Renamed the hospital field "grade year" to "Grade as of", and changed the label shown on hospital pages. | The stored value is the date of the name list or the page it was read from, not the year a grade was awarded. Under the old label the page read as a grade date, which was misleading. | 731 hospital records. | Independent review of the hospital dataset, finding F3. |
| 2026-09-24 | Remapped evidence levels on hospital specialty rows, and changed the level C wording to "No independent official source found for this row". | Hospital self-descriptions had been graded level C, which made most of the dataset look unverified and contradicted the dataset's own statistics. Self-descriptions are level B under the published definitions. | 1,105 rows: level A 232, level B 871, level C 2. | Independent review of the hospital dataset, finding F4, and the level definitions on the methodology page. |
