Data Quality Flashcards
are numbers, words, or images that have yet to be organized or analyzed to answer a specific question
Data
produced thru processing, manipulating, and organizing data to answer questions, adding to the knowledge of the receiver
Information
it is the overall utility of a dataset(s) as a function of its ability to be processed easily and analyzed for a database, data warehouse, or data analytics system
Data Quality
Aspects of Data Quality
Accessibility
Accuracy
Presentability
Completeness
Consistency
Reliability
Relevance
considers the extent to which data is collected using the same process and procedures by everyone doing the collecting and in all locations everytime
Consistency
indicates whether the data is free from significant errors and whether the numbers seem to make sense
Accuracy
indicates whether there is enough information to draw a conclusion about the data and whether enough individuals responded to it to ensure
representativeness
Completeness
refers to the degree to which data are important to users and their needs
Relevance
is determined by the degree to which measurements are similar (consistent) on repeated measurements
Reliability
degree from which the data is easily understood and well organized
Presentability
These (aspects of data quality) are the parameters of data quality to determine whether the data collected are of quality or not
Accessibility
is a tool that allows the use of small random samples to distinguish between different groups of data elements with high and low data quality
Lost Quality Assurance Sampling
Steps in Applying LQAS
- Define the service to be assessed (ex: data quality assurance of district HIS)
- Identify the unit of interest (e. g. supervisory area, facility, hospital, or district)
- Define the higher and lower thresholds of performance (based on prior information about the expected performance of region of interest)
- Determine the level of acceptable error
- Determine the sample size and decision rule for acceptable errors (especially in declaring areas as
performing below expectations) - Identify the number of errors observed
(mismatched data elements that will reliably determine if the facility is performing above or below expectations)
it is a simplified version of the Data Quality Audit tool
which allows programs and projects to verify and 5.
assess the quality of their reported data
Routine Data Quality Assessment
goal of Routine Data Quality Assessment
strengthen data management and reporting systems
Objectives of RDQA
- Rapidly verify the quality of reported data for key indicators at selected sites
- Implement corrective measures with action plans for strengthening data management and reporting system and improving data quality
- Monitor capacity improvements and performance of data management and reporting system to produce quality data
