Data Qualityu Flashcards
Numbers, words or images that have yet to be analyzed to answer a specific questiom.
Data
Produced through processing, manipulating, and organizing data to answer questions, adding to knowledge of the receiver.
Information
it is the overall utility of a datasets as function of its ability to be processed easily and analyzed for a database, data warehouse or data analytics system.
Data Quality
7 Aspects of Data Quality (ACRCRPA)
Accuracy, Completeness, Relevance, Consistency, Reliability, Presentability and Accessibility
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 representative.
Completeness
Refers to the degree to which data are important to users and their needs.
Relevance
Considers the extent to which data is collected using the same process and procedures by everyone doing the collecting and in all locations over time.
Consistency
Determined by the degree to which measurements are similar (consistent) on repeated measurement
Reliability
Degree from which the data is easily understood and well organized.
Presentability
A tool that allows the use of small random samples to distinguish between different groups of data elements with high and low data quality.
Lot Quality Assurance Sampling
Steps in Applying LQAS:
- Define the service to be assessed. (e.g. DQA of DHIS)
- Identify the unit of interest.
- Define the higher and lower threshold of performance.
- Determine the level of acceptable error.
- Determine the sample size and decision rule for acceptable errors.
- Identify of the number of errors observed.
It is a simplified version of the Data Quality Audit tool which allows programs and projects to verify and assess the quality of their reported data.
Routine Data Quality Assessment (RDQA)
3 Objective of RDQA
- RAPIDLY VERIFY the quality of reported data of 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 and produce quality data.
A project management tool that illustrates how a project is expected to progress at a high level.
Implementation Plan
It helps ensure that a development team is working to deliver and complete tasks on time.
