This means that no further updates of Check-It 2 software are being published on the Department’s website.įrom early August 2020, HCP (hospital to insurer) validation will be implemented in the department’s Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) for 2020-21 data onwards.

Many recent efforts seek to contain the proliferation of misinformation by automating the identification of fake news through various techniques that exploit signals derived from linguistic processing of online content, analysis of message diffusion patterns, reputation lists, etc.


The impact of misinformation has been so deep and wide that several authors characterize the present historic period as the “post-truth” era. This impact can be attested by recent events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 US presidential election. The rapid proliferation of misinformation and disinformation on the Internet has brought dire consequences upon societies around the world, fostering extremism, undermining social cohesion and threatening the democratic process.
