Systems and methods for determining data storage health and alerting to breakdowns in data collection

Abstract:

A system and associated method for assessing level of completeness of healthcare data storage based on collected data. The system includes a collection system, a measurement system, an expectation system, and an alerting system. In a method of assessing the health of stored data, the system collects real-time data from at least one data source, determines measurements for a plurality of parameters based on the collected data, and generates expectations for a future period of time for the plurality of parameters based on data analysis technique. The system also compares the expectations for the future period of time to subsequent measurements collected for that period of time to determine whether the subsequent measurements satisfy an expectation threshold and provide an alert to a client terminal. The alert is a result of the comparison of the expectations and the subsequent measurements and provides an assessment of data storage quality and alerts on anticipated deficiencies.
