Introduction Accurate, timely and reliable health care data playin the planning, development and maintenance of care services.
Quality improvement and the timely dissemination data are essential if we wish to maintain health car
optimal level.
Providers of health care services need information not on

Key Principles
Whether we collect data on paper or in a computer, the data organized in such a way that we can understand and retrieve
needed.
The original data must be accurate in order to be useful. If daaccurate, then wrong impressions and information are being the user.
The collection of the original source data must have in-built pensure that they meet the required quality standards.
The clinical coding process begins with the source documentmedical/ health record, from which pertinent clinical informata patient is abstracted.

Quality in Data Source and Collection Building quality into the process of data collection right fro
beginning is one of the major foundations of the overall m
quality control.
Our primary source of data should provide accurate inform Who the patient is and who provided health care;
What services were provided;
When and where the services were provided;
Why the services were provided;
How effective the services were; and
What the outcome was of care and treatment.

Overcoming data collection problems
Educate all health care providers on the importance ofaccurate documentation of patient care data, emphas
is important and the consequences of poor data qualit
Information should be recorded at the time of consultprocedure, or as soon as available
Develop and maintain standards for data collection usapproved reporting formats and registers across all fac
Institute routine checks on data for accuracy, validity, legibility, completeness and accessibility in both manucomputerized systems.

Quality in Data reporting
The production of accurate, reliable and timely statistical reports about th
of the community is essential to identify risk factors associated with healt
and need for, health services
Questions that should be asked when determining the appropriateness of s
include:
Are the reports producing the type of information required by the heal
district and the region?
Are the reports being used?
Are the reports accurate, reliable, meaningful and timely?
Are data displayed in an appropriate manner enabling them to be revie
How much of the report is not used?
Could the reports be improved?

The maternal death rate is shown as 20%, could the
point have been omitted so that the figure should bthere been an error in the calculation? Or has the formula been used?
