had definitely starved to death.
7. DATA
SHARING/DISSEMINATIO
N AND USE
By the end of this lecture we will be
able to:
1. Define Data Dissemination,
2. Explain various sources of existing data in
health institution that can be shared,
3.Describe how data extraction is
carried out.
8. What is Data Sharing or Data
Dissemination?
Data Dissemination or
Sharing is the
distribution or
transmitting of
statistical, or any other
data to end users.
10. SOURCES OF EXISTING DATA IN
HEALTH THAT CAN BE SHARED.
Under Special Data
Dissemination Standard,
the formats are divided into
TWO categories:
“HARDCOPY” and
“ELECTRONIC” publications.
11. SOURCES OF EXISTING DATA IN
HEALTH THAT CAN BE SHARED.
1. Administrative Data
2. Patient Medical Records
3. Patient Surveys
4. Standard Clinical Data
NOTE
You will all agree with me that the various
existing data sources above can be
categorize into the two main categories
12. ADMINISTRATIVE DATA
In the course of providing and paying for
care, organizations generates administrative
data on the characteristics of the population
they serve as well as their use of services
and charges for those services, often at the
level of individual users. The data is
gathered from claims, encounter,
enrollment, and providers systems.
Common data elements includes type of
service, number of units (e.g. days of
service), diagnosis and procedure codes for
clinical services, location of services , and
amount billed and amount reimbursed.
13. ADVANTAGES OF
ADMINISTRATIVE DATA
1. Available electronically
2. Less expensive that obtaining
medical record data
3. Available for an entire
population of patient and
across payers.
4. Fairly uniform (and improving
coding systems and
practices).
14. CHALLENGES OF
ADMINISTRATIVE DATA
1. Limited clinical information.
2. Questionable accuracy for
public reporting because the
primary purpose is billing.
3. Completeness
4. Timeliness.
15. PATIENT MEDICAL RECORDS
A medical record is the
documentation of a patient’s
medical history and care. The
advent of electronic medical
records has increased the
accessibility of patients’ files.
Wider use of electronic medical
record system is expected to
improve the ease and cost of using
this information for quality
measurement and reporting.
17. CHALLENGES OF MEDICAL
RECORDS
1. The cost, complexity, and time
required to compile data when
patients receive services across
different sites, particularly if a
different record format is used.
2. Current use of paper for most
records, which means that trained
staff must manually abstract
information.
18. PATIENT SURVEYS
Survey instruments capture self-
reported information from patients
about their health care
experiences. Aspects covered
include reports on the care,
service, or treatment received and
perceptions of the outcomes of
care. Surveys are typically
administered to a sample of
patients by mail, by telephone, or
via the internet.
19. ADVANTAGES OF PATIENT
SURVEYS
1. Captures types of
information for which
patients are the best source.
2. Well-established methods
for survey design and
administration.
3. Easy for customers to
understand and relate to
survey results.
20. CHALLENGES OF PATIENT
SURVEYS
1. Cost of survey administration.
2. Possibilities of misleading results if
questions are worded poorly, survey
administration procedures are not
standardized, the population sampled
is not representative of the population
as a whole (sampling bias), or the
population is not represented in the
responses (response bias).
21. STANDARDIZED CLINICAL
DATA
Certain kinds of facilities, such as
nursing homes and home health
agencies, are required to report
detailed information about the status of
each patient at set time intervals. The
Minimum Data Set (MDS), the required
information for nursing homes, and the
Outcome and Assessment Information
Set (OASIS), the data required by
Medical for certified home health
agencies, store the data used in quality
measures for these provider types.
22. ADVANTAGES OF
STANDARDIZE CLINICAL DATA
Uses existing data sets
Characterizes facility
performance in multiple
domains of care.
STOPED HERE -- NEXT
WEEK
25. THE NEED FOR
STANDARDIZATION
The use of quality measures to
support consumer choice requires a
high degree of data validity and
reliability. To make sure that
comparisons among providers and
health plans are fair and that the
results represent actual performance,
it is critical to collect data in a careful,
consistent way using standardized
definitions and procedures.
26. WHAT IS DATA EXTRACTION?
Data extraction is the
process of obtaining data
from a database or SaaS
platform so that it can be
replicated to a destination;
such as a data warehouse –
design to support Online
Analytical Processing (OLAP)
27. TYPE OF DATA EXTRACTION
Data can be extracted in
three primary ways
1. Update notification
2. Incremental extraction
3. Full extraction
28. TYPE OF DATA EXTRACTION
1. Update notification: This
is the easiest way to
extract data from a
source system, by setting
that system to issue a
notification when a record
has been changed.
29. TYPE OF DATA EXTRACTION
2. Incremental extraction: Some
data sources are unable to
provide notification that an
update has occurred, but
they are able to identify
which records have been
modified and provide an
extract of those records.
30. DATA EXTRACTION PROCESS
3. Full extraction: The first time
you replicate any source you
have to do a full extraction, and
some data sources have no way
to identify data that has been
change, so reloading a whole
table may be the only way to
get data from that source.

46. ANSWER TO BRAIN TEASER
This is the only number
that includes all the
digits arranged in
alphabetical order.
47.
48. WHAT IS DATA STORAGE
AND RETRIEVALS
Data Storage and Retrieval is a
systematical process of collecting
and cataloging data so that they
can be located and displayed on
request.
50. WHAT IS DATA OWNERSHIP
Data ownership is the act of having
legal rights and complete control over
a single piece or set of data elements.
It defines and provides information
about the rightful owner of data assets
and the acquisition, use and
distribution policy implemented by the
data owner.
51. WHAT IS DATA COPYRIGHT
Copyright Data means any
report, document, data,
design, computer software or
any other material (whether
written or machine readable)
which is developed under
the contract.
52. DATA DISPOSAL
Data disposal is the process of destroying data
stored on tapes, hard disks and other forms of
electronic media so that it is completely unreadable
and cannot be accessed or used for unauthorized
purposes.
But to confirm that data is truly gone, and to comply
with most data protection standards, you need
more. This is where data sanitization and data
erasure (a form of data sanitization) come in.

59. DATA
MANAGEMENT/SHARING
PLAN
A data management/sharing plan (DMP)
is a written document that describes the
data you expect to acquire or generate
during the course of a data collection,
how you will manage, describe,
analyze, and store those data, and what
mechanisms you will use at the end of
your project to share and preserve your
data.
60. MEANING OF THE FOLLOWING
DATA SHARING TERMS

SHARING
Values that underpin data sharing were identified from arguments in the
interview data. No connections were coded where arguments were
absent but where connections could theoretically exist. Competing
analysis was coded as a separate category due to its connections with
various values. Socio-cultural factors were split into role-identification
and enjoyment in collaborative work. Values which push researchers
towards collaboration are framed with red boxes.

4. Explain the principles of data dissemination.
85. BRAIN TEASER
You are driving a bus. At the first
stop, two women get on. At the
second stop, three men get on, and
one woman gets off. At the third
stop, three kids and their mom get
on, and a man gets off. The bus is
grey, and it is raining outside.
What color is the bus driver’s hair?
86. ANSWER TO BRAIN TEASER
The color of your hair is
the same as the
drivers’.
This is simply because
you are the driver.
87. SCOPE OF DATA DISSEMINATION
The Scope of dissemination of data is the
extend at which release of data obtained
from a statistical activity to its final
destination (end users) through various
media.
For each data release there is also a need
to effectively communicate the data to
data users and a requirement to make
known the availability of the release.
88. 1. Data dissemination can serve as a call for action –
for example, a public service announcement can
be created outlining what behaviors are
recommended to prevent high blood pressure.
2. It can be used to promote long-term behavior
change, such as encouraging people to quit
smoking to reduce cancer incidence rates and
risk.
3. Data dissemination serves to share new
information or insights about preventative
behaviors or treatment options for
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
PURPOSE OF DATA DISSEMINATION
89. 4. It can be used to educate the community about recent
findings such as mortality rates for cardiovascular
disease or to share accomplishments such as
decreasing prevalence of stroke.
5. Data dissemination can also document the magnitude of
health problems and justify program activities.
6. Public health officials may reference past data
dissemination reports to review the type of
intervention, relevant findings, and important
lessons learned from the intervention in preparation for
an upcoming intervention or public health program.
PURPOSE OF DATA DISSEMINATION
90. DATA DISSEMINATION &
DATA COMMUNICATION
1. Dissemination means sharing data with
potential users. They could be peers in the
research field, industry, other commercial
players and policymakers.
2.
3. On the other hand, Communication means
taking strategic and targeted measures for
promoting the action itself and its
results/success (processed data in most
cases) to a multitude of audiences,
including the media and the public, and
possibly engaging in a two-way exchange.
91. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DATA
DISSEMINATION AND DATA
COMMUNICATION
1. Dissemination is one-way, and involves
sending (data) information through two
basic formats (i.e. Hard-copy format or the
soft-copy format). This includes;
publications, social media, presentations, a
project website, a journal, a text literature,
and so on.
2.
3. Communication is two-way, and involves
channels such as workshops, round-table
sessions, events formal education settings,
etc. Also, communication needs a medium
of communication to be effective.
92. IMPORTANCE OF DATA DISSEMINATION
WITHIN AND OUTSIDE AN ORGANIZATION
Determining tie strength's role in
information dissemination can allow an
organization to utilize this relationship
factor to increase information flow,
resulting in strengthened employee
collaboration and increased collective
knowledge.
94. CLASS ACTIVITY

100. BRAIN TEASER
Two boxers are in a match
scheduled for 12 rounds. (Pure
boxing only. There are no kicking or
take-downs). One of the boxers gets
knocked out after only six rounds,
yet no man throws a punch.
How is this possible?
102. The use of big data in healthcare allows
for strategic planning thanks to better
insights into people's motivations.
Care managers can analyze check-up
results among people in different
demographic groups and identify what
factors discourage or encorage people
from taking up treatment.
THE CONCEPT OF DATA
USE
103. Data collection in healthcare allows health
systems to create holistic views of
patients, personalize treatments, advance
treatment methods, improve
communication between doctors and
patients, and enhance health outcomes.
Let’s take a closer look at some case studies.
DATA USE OBJECTIVES AND
IMPORTANCE
104. A personal Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a system that
collects information about the patient’s health from a
number of sources. These Electronic Health Record (EHR)
includes test results, clinical observations, diagnoses,
current health problems, medications taken by the patient,
the procedures he/she underwent, etc.
This type of medical report is able to send notifications to
patients about the need to undergo a new test or to ensure
compliance with drug prescriptions. This is a vivid example
of predictive analytic in healthcare.
By using a scope of data from digital medical records,
doctors can establish a link between fundamentally
different symptoms, give an accurate diagnosis and
provide adequate treatment..
PREDICTIVE CAPABILITIES OF
E.H.R.
105. Another example of the importance of data quality in healthcare
is the development of telemedicine — the provision of remote
clinical services. This term includes both primary diagnostics
and consultations, as well as comprehensive monitoring of the
patient’s health status, and even surgical assistance.
Telemedicine has been on the medical market for decades, but
only today, with the advent of smartphones, wireless portable
devices and video conferencing, has it released its full potential.
By eliminating the need for the physical presence of the patient
in the clinic, telemedicine reduces the financial costs of medical
services and prevents the deterioration of the patient’s health. A
qualified consultation may take place at any time and in any
place that is convenient for both the patient and the doctor.
TELEMEDICINE
106. The following are factors highlighted to be
responsible for the under-utilization of data
or barriers to data use;
1.
2. 1. Technical barriers
3. 2. Motivational barriers
4. 3. Economic barriers
5. 4. Political barriers
6. 5. Legal barriers
7. 6. Ethical barriers
8.
9. NOTE: Under the highlighted factors above, you can
further enumerate sub-factors which will trow more light
on the main factors.
UNDER-UTILIZATION OF
DATA/BARRIERS TO DATA USE
107. 1. Data not collected. As long as severe limitations
persist in public health data collection, data sharing will
not be considered a priority.
1.
2.
3. 2. Data not preserved or cannot be found. Public health
data are often collected for short-term purposes such as
outbreak detection.
4.
5.
6. 3. Language barrier. Routinely collected public health
data are often recorded in local languages, limiting the
possibility to integrate and use such data together with
other data sets, particularly in an international context.
7.
8.
TECHNICAL BARRIERS
108. 4. Restrictive data format. Despite major advances in
computational resources in public health, a large volume
of public health data such as disease surveillance data
and administrative data continue to be collected and
preserved in hardcopy paper format or in electronic
format that may be antiquated or incompatible with
modern software systems.
1.
2.
3. 5. Technical solutions not available. Technical software
solutions to collect, harmonize (transformation and
recoding to enhance inter-operability), integrate
(combining harmonized datasets), and share complex
and heterogeneous data have been developed in the
private or research sector, but have not become widely
available to public health agencies.
4.
TECHNICAL BARRIERS
109. 1.
MOTIVATIONAL BARRIERS
6. No incentives. Data sharing requires time and resources that are
chronically lacking in public health settings.
7. Opportunity cost. Public health officers who have invested time and
effort in data collection could anticipate that scientific credit or
other opportunities may be lost if data recipients with greater
capacity for analysis could gain the majority of credit.
8. Possible criticism. Data providers could be discredited by errors
found during secondary use of their data and disease control efforts
may be criticized if data would reveal continued disease occurrence
9. Disagreement on data use. Data providers may disagree with the
intended secondary use of their data or may consider their data
inappropriate for a certain use
110. 1.
ECONOMIC BARRIERS
10. Possible economic damage. Data sharing in public health is
challenged by the economic damage that this may cause to data
providers. Public sharing of disease outbreak data, for example,
can result in economic damage due to reduced tourism and trade.
11. Lack of resources. The process of data sharing requires human and
technical resources for data preparation, annotation,
communication with recipients, computer equipment, internet
connectivity, etc.
111. 1.
POLITICAL BARRIERS
12. Lack of trust. Trust between a data provider and user greatly
enables data sharing. In the absence of trust, providers
could anticipate potential misinterpretation, misuse or
intentional abuse of the data.
13. Restrictive policies. Agencies may have developed official policy
guidelines that restrict data sharing, resulting from various
possible underlying factors such as a general sense of distrust,
negative prior experiences, or other factors.
14. Lack of guidelines. Frequently, official guidelines on data
sharing simply do not exist, are unclear or inconsistent.
112. LEGAL BARRIERS
15. Ownership and copyright. Agencies that collect public health data are
often responsible for the protection of individual and community
privacy and may feel that a guardianship or ownership role is
bestowed on them by the public.
16. Protection of privacy. Public health agencies have the mandate and
authority to collect private data from the population governed by the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the US
or similar legislation in other countries.
113. ETHICAL BARRIERS
17. Lack of proportionality. The issue of proportionality, the careful
deliberation in assessing the risks and benefits that derive from the
amount and type of data requested compared to the potential impact
of its secondary use, has been identified as a guiding ethical principle
for public health data sharing.
18. Lack of reciprocity. Data sharing practices have not always been fair,
and data producers have often felt exploited in transactions where
they receive little credit or benefit from their work, while data users
that can rapidly analyze data and publish results benefit from
academic credit and career advancement as has happened in the past.
114. METHODS OF IMPROVING DATA
USE IN HEALTH PROJECT AND
PROGRAMS
The spectrum of data applications in the field of
medicine should systematically expand because
data analysis has every chance to change people’s
lives for the better. Information technologies make it
possible both to identify diseases of an individual
and to predict the state of health of entire social
groups.
Therefore, by implementing Big Data into healthcare
is the key to developing preventive measures and
saving lives.
As they say, prevention is even better than a cure.
