Data management - a priority for healthcare systems
Most of the attention in healthcare IT focuses on new systems and the
networks that connect them; worryingly, we hear much less about the quality
of data that is destined to flow around them. This feature, produced with
Stalis Ltd, seeks to redress the balance. The articles argue that healthcare
organisations not only need to look long and hard at the quality of the
data they propose to migrate into the new, integrated systems, but that
they also need to speed up their plans and allow more time for the complex
process of data cleansing.
The first article makes the case for paying far greater attention to
data cleansing and, in effect, issues a wake-up call to trusts that have
not yet addressed the issue or believe that the work can be done quickly
and easily just before new systems arrive. The second article offers advice
from Stalis' experts on the best ways to approach data cleaning and in
the final article we look at how Sheffield Children's NHS Trust succeeded
with its data cleansing, integration and migration.
