Data-driven healthcare harnesses the wealth of information generated from diverse sources such as electronic health records, medical devices, wearables, genomics, and patient generated data. This vast and complex data ecosystem holds the potential to unlock new discoveries, facilitating research, enable evidence-based practices, and revolutionize healthcare delivery.

However, within this potential lies a critical challenge: ensuring data quality. Quality of healthcare data is essential for leveraging its full potential in driving informed decision-making, research advancements, and improved patient outcomes. Data quality issues, such as incomplete or inaccurate data, can significantly impact the success of data-driven initiatives.

Tutorial topics

Part 1

Diving deeper into the dynamic of Health Data Quality
