5/10/2021

 
Data cleaning is the process of detecting and correcting inaccurate data from your patient records.  It is the overall process that should be used to ensure the data is correct, consistent, and usable.  Data cleaning starts with understanding your data, where it comes from, and what it says.  The trauma registry should have a consistent data cleaning process which marks the “closing” of a month.
