What Is the Data Integrity Module?

The Data Integrity Module provides a way to create, manage and review the quality of data audits. Users can view or download the results of an integrity check, ignore certain known results that should not be included in the total count, see a chart representing the history of an integrity check's findings and link directly to encounters, patients, observations and more from the results. It is meant to provide a common place for finding and dealing with multiple common data quality issues.

Some potential integrity checks are:

  • Patients with no  or more than one preferred identifier
  • Patients with no name
  • Patient Identifiers with an incorrect check-digit
  • Unused Concepts in the Concept Dictionary
  • Unused or duplicate Field Objects for Forms
  • Unused Locations
  • Encounters having no Observations
  • Pregnant male patients
  • Patients who have a wrong encounter type (e.g.: A pediatric patient with an adult encounter type or form)
  • Patients with inconsistent data

See the Sample Integrity Checks page for these and more.

The Future

The future is here! See Data Integrity Module - 2.0 Design Overhaul for the design concerns behind the latest UI developments. More innovations await, such as:

  • adding the ability to use other languages for integrity checks, like Groovy, Javascript or Python!
  • sparklines and other small but effective visualizations
  • deeper introspection and analysis over result sets and history statistics
  • formatted downloads and possible PDF rendering
