  1. Data Quality Action Team Short Term Goals (within 6 months)

  2. Short Term Goals • Ensure access to exact duplicate of the entire NPIRS production database • Take the first steps in implementing a true data warehouse/data mart design • Inventory and improve NPIRS documentation • Complete an inventory all NPIRS data • Implement a process for producing and iteratively improving user pop reports • Implement an open, web-based system for communicating DQA Team activities to all • Coordinate with related ongoing data initiatives

  3. NPIRS Access • DQA Team can access and evaluate existing NPIRS data and DB structures. • Users can access, evaluate, and use existing NPIRS data.

  4. Implement Data Warehouse • Data to be collected, stored, and archived exactly as it is first received. • Analyze raw data and provide information back to Areas and SUs about their data. • All national uses of data (NPIRS, ORYX, Diabetes and Epi Programs, etc.) are separate applications or data marts • Areas can become a “data mart” and use this system to help provide an Area database.

  5. Improve Documentation • Database structures and relationships • Production processes • Standard report processes • Data archive processes • Handling of other, special requests • User as well as technical level

  6. Complete a Data Inventory • Inventory current and historical data in its raw (i.e., export file) and processed (i.e., DB2 production database) format • Primary focus on data needed for FY99 and beyond user counts • Identify locations, formats, available backups

  7. Improve User Pop Reports • Create a process for timely production and iterative improvements • Versioned plan • Initially focus on aspects of workload reporting that affect user pops. • Implement process to document and manage interface between NPIRS and program officials (OPH/OPS, Area stat officers).

  8. Full Communication • Web-based project plan, task lists, reporting mechanisms, etc. • Informational slide sets • Inform various customer groups about the availability of this information.

  9. Coordinate with Existing Initiatives • This initiative must coordinate with but does not subsume other, important ongoing ITSC initiatives, e.g., • MPI • Data transport • Data needs • SSA verification • PCC+ • HCFA data projects etc.

  10. Coordinate with Existing Initiatives • Or other related IHS initiatives, e.g., • Statistical officer workgroups • GPRA • ORYX • Diabetes data initiatives • Epi data projects etc.

  11. Wish us luck!
