Knowledge production - includes the creation, organization, and storage of knowledge

Data dictionary - is a file that defines the organization of the database
Documentation - methods and activities of collecting, coding, ordering storing, and
retrieving information to fulfill future tasks
MRI consensus workgroup essential principles of healthcare documentation - unique
identification of patient, accuracy, completeness, interoperability, retrievability,
timeliness, and auditability.
10 characteristics of data quality - accuracy, accessibility, comprehensiveness,
consistency, reliability, currency, definition, granularity, precision, relevancy, and
timeliness.
timeliness - critical dimension in the quality of many types of healthcare data
Relevancy - data must be relevant to the purpose for which they are collected
Precision - often relates to numerical data
Granularity - atomicity- which means that the individual data elements cannot be further
subdivided
definition - clear definitions should be provided so that current and future data user will
know what the data mean.
Currency - many types of healthcare data become obsolete after a period of time.
, Accuracy - data that are free errors are accurate
Accessibility - data items should be easily obtainable and legal to access with strong
protections and controls built into the process
Comprehensiveness - all required data items are included- ensures that the entire
scope of the data is collected and document intentional limitations
Consistency/reliability - data quality needs to be consistent and reliable

a typical data dictionary associated with a DBMS allows for at least documentation of
the following: - table names, all attribute or field names, a description of each attribute,
the data type of the attribute, the format of each, the size, appropriate range of values,
integers, and relationships among attributes
integrity constraints - databases contain rules
data integrity - happens when all of the data in the database confirm to all integrity
constraint rules.
Database integrity constraints include - data type, legal values, format, and key
constraints
data type - data entered into a field should be consistent with the data type for that field
