Changes to the Organisation Data Quality report
We have made some changes to the Organisation Data Quality report. The report highlights key data quality issues to assist Organisations to improve and/or maintain data quality.
The Organisation Data Quality Data Exchange report shows how data quality is changing over time and varies across outlets. Previously the report displayed data since the commencement of the Data Exchange. This has been updated to display data for the last eight (8) reporting periods on a rolling basis. This change significantly improves the responsiveness of the report.
Data quality measures such as low quality SLKs, not stated demographic values, unidentified clients, have been updated to use reporting periods instead of the last six months (i.e. 5-Sep-2022 to 5-March-2023) versus the previous 6 months. Further, the report has been updated to use clients with sessions in a reporting period instead of clients created in a 6 month period. These changes may result in a change to the figures displayed in the report, this does not mean that the quality of your data has changed.
The depth of time series data within some bar charts have been expanded from one year to four years to allow for more in-depth trend analysis.
We have also added a Sessions with Support Person title providing details on the number and details of sessions where the only attendee was a support person.
These changes to the Organisation Data Quality Data Exchange report will take effect from Thursday 16 March 2023. Please go to the Organisation Data Quality DEX fact sheet for more information.
All changes to the report do not impact on the figures reported into the Data Exchange and have been made to add capability to the report and/or improve the user experience.
