Overview of the Problem

Quality administrative data extracts are pivotal to effective hospital management and reporting, yet understanding the variations in data quality can be challenging. Without accurate reporting data and external benchmarking, these disparities can potentially undermine strategic decision-making and hospital performance.

The Role Opus Plays

Opus enables data teams to assess the quality of their administrative data extracts by benchmarking against data submissions from other children’s hospitals. With Opus, variations and anomalies become easier to identify, leading to more robust data sets and improved analysis.

How to Use Opus to Solve this Problem

When data are uploaded into Opus, Configo’s technology conducts an extensive AI-enabled audit process to ensure data integrity – both for each hospital and for our benchmarks. Records deemed to be in error are flagged and sent back to the hospitals with detailed instructions on correction, so hospital IT teams are not unduly burdened. This has allowed Configo to create a dataset of substantially higher quality than elsewhere in the pediatric population for confident QI decision making.
