Qualitative or quantitative information that guarantees integrity, methodological soundness, accuracy and reliability, serviceability, and accessibility for any healthcare services.
The Coalition has used the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s Data Quality Assessment framework to define data quality as “qualitative or quantitative information that guarantees integrity, methodological soundness, accuracy and reliability, serviceability, and accessibility for any healthcare services.” This Data Quality Assessment Framework falls under the IMF’s Data Quality Reference Site, and contains seven dataset-specific frameworks. These seven frameworks are outlined in the following sections: National Accounts Statistics, Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index, Government Finance Statistics and Public Sector Debt Statistics, Monetary Statistics, Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Statistics, and September 2013 External Debt Statistics.
