| software developers, regulators, accrediting agencies, government agencies, researchers, payer organizations, provider organizations, & standards bodies have all defined | data sets in healthcare |
| level of abstraction in a data set can range from | very specific to somewhat conceptual |
| more complex the data set, the more important it is that the parties who will be using it agree on | data set definitions & rules for data set's construction |
| data dictionary must accompany | the data set |
| because data elements are reused across data sets, it is ideal if elements in different data sets can be drawn from | a common data dictionary |
| dictionary needs to be organized in a way that makes it relatively easy to find desired data __ & to detect unintended data __ | element; redundancies |
| data models have become a popular and effective means of meeting the requirements of | reusable data dictionary |
| provide a contextual framework & graphical representation that aid in definition of data elements; data elements are organized into classes, & each class represents some object in healthcare | data models |
| can be a concept, person, place, thing, or event | an object in a data model |
| contains a description of the class of objects it represents; set of properties that include the attributes & associations to no other in the model | class in a data model |
| some fact of interest about the class that could be carried in a data element of a data set | attribute |
| two popular and widely used standards for data modeling; provide a formal language for expressing and defining classes of concepts and their properties | IDEF6 and UML7 |
| are an effective means of capturing useful, normalized groupings of data elements | classes w/in a data model |
| capturing element conditionality, defaults, and derivation specification in the data model is best delayed until | using data model to define data sets |
| should be added to the data model's data dictionary as an extension of the model | specifications in data model |
| significant advantage of keeping derived data elements out of the base data model and out of the graphical expression is | reduction of redundant data definitions |
| contains non-derived, unique, atomic data elements | core data dictionary |
| contains derived, qualified, & composite data elements | extension to core data dictionary |
| require data elements to convey concepts that are unique w/i scope of model & not encapsulation of significant subordinate concepts | rules of data modeling |
| rules of data modeling are known as | normalization |
| normalization enables construction of data model that is resilient, extensible, & applicable to | multiple users |
| data elements included in the extended data dictionary are not constrained by | rules of normalization |
| used in data sets are defined in the extended data dictionary, along with their rules for derivation | derived data elements |
| may also be defined in extended dictionary as equivalent to data elements in core data dictionary | alias names for data elements |
| description should include text that explains when it is to be used | alias |
| convey concepts that are a subset of a concept in the core data dictionary | qualified data elements |
| contains qualifier word preceding name of a core data element | name of qualified data element |
| declares the subset | qualifier word |
| extended data dictionary might also include data elements that are ___ of data elements included in core data dictionary | composites |
| contents of the extended data dictionary are best defined during the process of | building a specification for a data set |
| data sets derived from a data model will have their entire contents drawn from the | data model data dictionaries |
| new data element is added to the core data dictionary, it must also be added to the | data model's graphical representation |
| more the data model is used as the source of data elements for data sets, the more complete it becomes and the more useful it is as a tool for | ensuring consistency among multiple data set |
| complement each other & , when used together, enhance their effectiveness in creating well-defined, semantically rich, reusable data elements | features & advantages of data dictionaries, data sets, & data models |
| is an example of data model-driven approach to constructing data dictionaries and data sets, to achieve consistency in data element and data set definitions | HL7 version 3 message development methodology |
