The first question is based on your own experience so that you can begin the discussion immediately without having completed all of the assigned readings. You must apply your assigned readings to subsequent questions. So, based on your experiences, answer the following question: Everyone works with data. What types of data sources have you worked with or are available within your organization (present or past)? Now applying what you’ve learned from the readings, let’s go through the rest of the discussion together, one question at a time. Ensure you cite other’s work when appropriate and in APA format. What are notable advantages and disadvantages of using medical records versus administrative sources for collecting quality data? What are common data-quality problems in healthcare performance measurement? How should the sufficiency of data quality be evaluated? What are the threats associated with the use of poor-quality data?
