This study updates a German guideline on data quality for health research registries. It incorporates new dimensions, indicator structures, and metadata quality, addressing big data and AI challenges.
Area of Science:
- Health Research Data Management
- Data Quality Assurance
Background:
- Structured data are crucial for empirical health research.
- Data value depends on quality and fitness for use.
- A German guideline addresses data quality in registries and cohort studies with 51 indicators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update the German guideline on data quality management.
- To incorporate current views on data dimensions, indicator structure, and collection.
- To address metadata quality and challenges from big data and AI.
Main Methods:
- Literature review to identify evidence sources.
- Categorization of evidence into dimensions, structure, and indicators.
- Focus on new data quality control challenges.
Main Results:
- The guideline update will consider new data dimensions and indicator structures.
- Metadata quality measures will be explicitly included.
- New challenges from big data and artificial intelligence will be addressed.
Conclusions:
- The updated guideline aims to enhance data quality management in health research.
