Data Quality Tab

Whenever a patient has been sent to the SanteMPI system (or edited in the user interface), the the data quality plugin will perform validation according to rules configured on the SanteDB server.

When data quality rules are detected as violated, the issue is flagged in a data quality extension (see: Data Quality Services), and the user interface will reflect these rules.

The data quality rule will have:

• Level - Indicates the severity of the data quality violation

• Classification - Indicates the system class of the violation

• ID - Indicates the unique identifier of the rule (configured by the implementation) which triggered the rule violation

• Information - Human readable information about the violation.

Severity

The severity column will indicate the impact that the data quality violation has:

Level	Description
Error	These types of data quality rules don't usually appear in the data quality tab since a violation with level of Error causes the inbound message to be rejected by the SanteDB server.
Warning	Indicates that the data quality issue needs to be investigated (may represent an issue with data collection) however it does not prevent the information from being stored.
Information	Indicates the data quality issue is for information purposes only - there is no action required.

Classification

The classification indicates the class of detected issue (such as privacy, security, etc.)
