Zusammenfassung:The learning health systems aim to support the needs of patients with chronic diseases, which require methods that account for electronic health recorded (EHR) data limitations. EHR data is often used to calculate cardiovascular risk scores. However, it is unclear whether EHR data presents high enough quality to provide accurate estimates. Still, there is currently no open standard available to assess data quality for such applications. We applied the DataGauge process to develop a data quality standard based on expert clinical, analytical and informatics knowledge by conducting four interviews and one focus group that produced 61 individual data quality requirements. These requirements covered all standard data quality dimensions and uncovered 705 quality issues in EHR data for 456 patients. These requirements will be expanded and further validated in future work. Our work initiates the development of open and explicit data quality standards for specific secondary uses of clinical data.
