Data Quality optimisation solutions –  ~100 data quality reports

USAGE

Data quality (DQ) is a crucial issue for any NHS trust, directly affecting operational, financial and clinical reporting data.

We have developed a unique catalogue of over 100 custom data quality reports. We can also develop further reports according to your own parameters. Taken together, this provides you with an accurate snapshot of the current data quality within a given EHR domain. We find that our clients who choose this solution experience significant benefits on an ongoing basis.

Our tailor-made implementation approach allows you to combine the following work packages:

Phase 1 – Script execution and report output files Overview of data quality within the live EHR system. Our in-house solution architects analyse reports, provide recommended corrective workflows, create a project plan, and advise on impact assessment and prioritisation.

Phase 2 – e-Health Data Quality team
Our internal analysts perform corrections on live patient data.

Phase 3a – Implement Reports in DA2 tool
All reports are made available in Oracle Cerner DA2 for operational/DQ staff to execute in real time as needed. Report data can be filtered as specified by end user.

Phase 3b – Dashboard and KPI’ Solutions
Reporting tool with a user-friendly graphical interface to display all key data quality performance indicators.
