Peer Audit: Difference between revisions

=== Goals and follow-ups to the peer audit ===

[[Julie Mojica | Julie]] will ~~generate accuracy scores from~~ the audit data, and we will ~~provide these back to you~~ in ~~this article~~.

[[Julie Mojica | Julie]] will do comparative analysis between the audit data and the database data by element. The proportion of dissimilarity of values will be calculated over time and presented in a statistical control chart. Values found outside the prescribed or predetermined control limits be investigated.

*You have stated that the audit is to check precision as opposed to accuracy, but the next paragraph talks about Julie tabulating & quantifying accuracy. Isn't this contradictory?--[[User:Jpeterson|Jpeterson]] 14:42, 27 November 2009 (CST)

Once we ~~know which areas~~ have the ~~least accuracy~~ we will ~~look for~~ reasons ~~for~~ the ~~inaccuracies~~ and ~~try~~ to ~~eliminate them~~. This will largely happen ad-hoc using the wiki. We may also come back to you personally to find out why there are discrepancies, but this is to find the reasons and fix the underlying problem, not to criticize individuals.

Once we have identified the elements which showed large discrepancies or variability, we will identify the reasons why, suggest changes to reduce the variation in the data, implement the changes and re-assess again to see if the change results in improvement in the quality of the data. This will largely happen ad-hoc using the wiki. We may also come back to you personally to find out why there are discrepancies, but this is to find the reasons and fix the underlying problem, not to criticize individuals.

We will also use our findings to correct data, but this is for a very small subset of our database and just coincidental.
