Data quality.
The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership has produced a guide covering all aspects of data collection, from what data quality means and how to improve it, to how to ensure that the purpose or objective ofclinical audits clearly identifies the nature of the data needed. It gives advice on how to test the validity of clinical audit standards and check if data collection processes are producing reliable data. It also explains how to share data across healthcare organisations and ensure related information governance requirements are met. The guide includes examples, which can be downloaded at http://tiny.cc/kbskv.
