Data Management
Information data quality involves all of the following: completeness, reliability, consistency, timeliness, currency, accessibility, accuracy and precision.
The old saying "garbage in, garbage out" is still applicable where electronic information is concerned. Usually people only start to look at their data quality when they try to extract some data and find it unacceptable, or it's not a true snapshot of their practice.
