Data Management
development, execution and supervision of plans, policies, programs, and
practices that control, protect, deliver, and enhance the value of data and information assets
Data Management
A description of policies and practices that answer key questions about the
data in your system: What data exists? How is data collected, stored, accessed,
and protected? How will the data most likely be used and by whom?
Plans
Guidelines that are used to protect patient confidentiality and keep data
secure.
Policies
A set of activities for routinely assessing and controlling data quality.
Programs
data that can’t be measured by
numbers, for example a person’s occupation. For this reason,
we express this type of data with words, which usually indicate a category or group. These categories or groups can be subjectively defined.
Qualitative Data
This type of data captures characteristics that are numerical in nature. This means that they are expressed as numbers and what they represent, for example 4 years of age
Quantitative
comes directly from the source
Primary Source
the data has already been collected.
Secondary Source
Information is preserved for later recall, typically through repetition.
Human memory
Information is preserved for later reference by writing it on a piece
of paper with a pencil.
Pencil and Paper
information is entered by an individual through a user interface
into a database for later retrieval.
Electronic
Data is entered during the patient visit.
Time of Care
Data is entered by the individual providing the service.
Point of care; At the moment
Data is entered post-visit, typically by a data clerk working through a stack
of visit records.
After time of care
