This case study looks at data validation and its role in implementing new analytics systems, such as Azara DRVS.

In brief, Health Care for the Homeless (HCH), a Baltimore-based Federally Qualified Health Center, “went to extra lengths to ensure its Azara DRVS implementation included more than the usual amount of data validation, an examination of its data collection processes, a spirit of collaboration among a diverse staff and a willingness to accept an overarching truth: the effort to validate data properly will expose mistakes within the data, process deficiencies and other unforeseen challenges. But the reward for tackling these issues head-on is a health center with powerful, truly actionable data.”
