         Research Methodology: 1) Review the PCCHP of the NHSO 2) Gather PCCHP information from the NHSO key performance indicators and the information from literature reviews 3) Identify essential PCCHP information by Delphi Technique 4) Create PCCHP Data Dictionary.

         The results: We gathered 19 PCCHP information. And after consulting experts, the PCCHP information are decreased to 15 essential PCCHP information. Then all essential PCCHP information are used to create the PCCPH data dictionary with 64 variables; consist of 37 original variables and 27 added variables.
