Improving Data Quality Clause Samples

Improving Data Quality. Availability of high-quality HRH related data is a serious problem. Unfortunately, over the decades, this problem has not been acknowledged by DoH. Most of the KP related articles, reviewed during this case study, also mentioned the same problem. The reason is absence of effective strategy by DoH KP towards HRH data management. As already mentioned, further research is needed to completely understand the problem of physician retention in KP. It is only possible when complete data related to HRH is available. DoH KP needs to work in collaboration with PMDC and CPSP to ensure management and availability of high-quality data related to HRH. This will encourage researchers to conduct quality research in future which will help DoH KP to design and evidence-based policies to achieve better outcomes. Table 7. summarizes these recommendations, stakeholders responsible for their implementation and intended outcome for each of these recommendations. In addition to providing rough estimates of timeline, feasibility and affordability of these interventions is also graded in the table.
