Description
This unit introduces learners to quantitative and qualitative approaches for measuring and ensuring data quality within healthcare organizations. Emphasis is placed on developing and applying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess data accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and consistency across systems.
Learners will explore methods of data auditing, continuous monitoring, and automated dashboard reporting to support quality assurance. The unit also examines continuous quality improvement (CQI) methodologies, advanced analytics, and machine-learning applications used to sustain data quality in dynamic healthcare environments.
Define and explain the key dimensions and metrics of data quality, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and validity.
Develop and interpret KPIs and scorecards for measuring data quality performance within healthcare systems.
Apply data auditing and profiling techniques to identify data quality issues and evaluate compliance.
Analyze continuous monitoring methods and real-time dashboards for tracking data quality improvement.
Evaluate the effectiveness of data quality management systems (DQMS) in improving clinical outcomes and regulatory compliance.
Design a data quality improvement strategy using CQI methodologies and advanced analytics.
Assess the role of staff training and organizational culture in sustaining high data quality standards.
Upon completing this unit, learners will be able to:
Identify and describe the key performance indicators used to measure healthcare data quality.
Implement monitoring systems that track and visualize data quality performance in real time.
