HL7 - ANSWER-A set of international standards for transfer of clinical and
administrative data between software applications used by various healthcare providers.
These standards focus on the application layer, which is "layer 7" in the OSI model.
Data Validity - ANSWER-Accuracy of data
Data Comprehensiveness - ANSWER-All data items are included.
Data Granularity - ANSWER-(a) The attributes and values of data should be defined at
the correct level of detail. (b) When a data element cannot be further subdivided
Data Precision - ANSWER-Data values are just large enough to support the application
of process
For ex: Setting up a drop down menu to make sure that the clerk collects "gender" as
"male, female, or unknown" is an example of ensuring data
Data Reliability - ANSWER-Consistency of data
Data Timeliness - ANSWER-Data being available within a time frame helpful to the user

reasoning and knowledge, typified by terms such as `very', `quite possibly', and
`unlikely', to be represented in such a way that the information can be processed by
computer
Quantitative Analysis - ANSWER-Quantitative analysis involves checking for the
presence or absence of necessary reports and/or signatures,
Qualitative Analysis - ANSWER-Qualitative analysis may involve checking
documentation consistency, such as comparing a patient's pharmacy drug profile with
the medication administration record.
