DATA DICTIONARY MAINTENANCE

 

 

THIS ASSINGMENT IS WORTH 100 POINTS PLEASE, APA FORMAT

 

 

Currently, in your organization, pediatric patients are considered those that are under 13 years of age. Patients that are admitted to the pediatric unit are registered as PEDS. Reports to your state pediatric disease registry are run based on the location of PEDS. Suppose the state’s data dictionary for the pediatric disease registry supplies the definition of the pediatric patient as one that is 18 years of age or younger.

1. How will you design or modify reports based on the current data dictionary?

2. Elaborate on what changes need to be made going forward to collect the appropriate information for reporting.
