Validating Patients

Note: to validate you will need the “Read Data Pipeline” and “Read PHI” abilities. These are often included in a “Validation” Role. If you are unable to follow the directions below, please reach out to the Relevant lead at your organization to provide you with the appropriate Role(s).

At top in the Navigation Bar, click Data Pipeline and select Data Elements.

Search for and click Patients from the Data Elements index, then click Generate Random Sample to generate a list of 20 random Patients.

Check the data points for each Patient against what you see in the EHR. If you notice any issues, click Report discrepancy at right, provide details on what should be fixed in the Description box, then click Send.

Repeat the process of validating random samples of Patients until you are confident the data is correct.

Note: Relevant does not save the randomly generated list, so if you’d like to keep them for future reference, be sure to click Export to save the list as an Excel file.
