A method for interoperable knowledge-based data quality assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Assessing the quality of healthcare data is a complex task including the selection of suitable measurement methods (MM) and adequately assessing their results.

Objectives

To present an interoperable data quality (DQ) assessment method that formalizes MMs based on standardized data definitions and intends to support collaborative governance of DQ-assessment knowledge, e.g. which MMs to apply and how to assess their results in different situations.

Methods

We describe and explain central concepts of our method using the example of its first real world application in a study on predictive biomarkers for rejection and other injuries of kidney transplants. We applied our open source tool-openCQA-that implements our method utilizing the openEHR specifications. Me
