7.  CLEANING YOUR DATA

It is possible that errors may be present in your audit data, whether you entered the data manually or uploaded a data file created in RPMS or other electronic health record system.  The WebAudit has a tool for checking your data for many different errors. 

To use the error checking tool, go to the WebAudit, click the “Data Quality Check” button and follow the on-screen directions.  Both definite and potential errors will be listed in a table, with a brief explanation of the error.  To correct an error, you can click on the Edit icon in the leftmost column of the table.
