What is the Data Quality Auditing Service?
Our Data Quality Auditing Service is designed to help organizations ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of their HMIS data. We provide comprehensive audits that identify data quality issues and offer actionable recommendations to improve data integrity.
Why is data quality important?
High-quality data is crucial for making informed business decisions, maintaining regulatory compliance, and enhancing operational efficiency. Poor data quality can lead to incorrect insights, increased costs, reputational damage, and potential loss of funding.
What types of data do you audit?
We audit Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data, as defined in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s data standards. More information on these standards is available here.
How does the auditing process work?
- Data Assessment: We evaluate the current state of your data.
- Data Profiling: We analyze data and identify anomalies.
- Reporting: We produce a detailed data quality dashboard with findings and recommendations.
- Technical Assistance: We provide ongoing support as you correct data and implement audit recommendations.
What tools and technologies do you use?
We use proprietary tools developed on the Microsoft Power BI (Business Intelligence) platform to detect, report and display data quality issues.
How often are organizations audited?
Typically, organizations in a Continuum of Care are audited once per calendar quarter. We recommend that organizations with ongoing data quality issues are audited once per month until they meet or exceed CoC and federal data quality standards.
