Data Standardization
ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERS ON Data Standardization
INSTRUCTIONS
For this assessment, you are a senior data analyst with Vila Health. A friend who teaches health information management courses at a local university has asked to you present information on standards development organizations (SDOs) to a health information management student group.
As part of your presentation, you will give students two handouts.
Handout Number One
The first handout will include a table with information on at least three standards development organizations (SDOs). Please use the attached document to complete all of the following in your table:
- Describe each SDO’s purpose.
- List the type of standards developed by the SDO.
- Describe the data to which the standard applies.
- Explain why these data standards are important in interpreting health care data.
- Describe how the standards can be used to standardize data for quality-improvement initiatives.
- Provide for each SDO an example of using data standardization in a quality improvement initiative.
- List the type of data points and classification that may apply to the SDO, based on the description of the data to which the standard applies. For example: The National Council for Prescription and Drug Programs would likely set standards for the data point of medications. You may choose from these data points:
- Identification number.
- Name.
- Address.
- Telephone number.
- Date of birth.
- Gender.
- Height.
- Weight.
- Admission date.
- Diagnoses.
- Medications.
- Medication dosage.
- Medication frequency.
Handout Number Two
You second handout will consist of a one-page narrative that summarizes your findings about standards development organizations.
