Question | Answer |
Quality Control | Planned set of activities to monitor quality: Insures the completeness & accuracy of casefinding, abstracting, coding, f/up & reporting activities. |
Quality Control of Operations vs. Quality Control of Data | Operations: Monitor/evaluate casefinding completeness, timely reporting, policy & proc manuals, & staff training Data: Monitor & evaluate accuracy of information reported |
Quality Assurance | Monitoring processes and methods to ensure quality |
Single-Field / Item Edits | Only 1 field at a time to verify & validate field values |
Inter-field / Multi-field | Compare related data-item codes for correctness; Verify contents of a single field/data-item w/out reference to any other field/item. |
Multi-record / Inter-record | Check multiple items in different records for internal consistency. Usually all records are for a single patient in a database. |
Completeness | The measurement of the number of cases missed or of missing data. |
Metafile | Computer file containing everything needed to edit a data file except data |
Edit Set | Groups of individual edits with a specific purpose (e.g. NAACCR, NCDB, COC, SEER, NPCR edits) |
Edits | Individual data check |
DCO (Death Certificate Only) | DCO percentages (observed-to-expected ratios & incidence-to-mortality ratios) can provide an estimate of the level of completeness of registration as compared to an average for central cancer registries. |
Concurrent Abstracting | Completing the abstract as information becomes available. |
Timeliness | The degree to which various stages of the registration process occur on schedule |
Lag-Time Report | A report that tracks cases by date of dx against the date received in the central registry |
RQRS (Rapid Quality Reporting System) | Reporting tool; real-time data collection program for reporting shortly after initial contact, usually before the standard abstracting time frame |
Acceptance Sampling | The inspection & subsequent approval (acceptance) or rejection of a product (e.g. edit checks) |
Statistical Process Controls | Using statistical measures to continuously monitor the state of a procedure or function. Triggers a review/intervention when the result exceeds established limits; improves data quality in the future - not fix errors. |
