This document summarizes the key findings from stakeholder meetings on developing recommendations for transparently reporting data quality assessment results for observational healthcare data. Stakeholders highlighted the implications of poor data quality, barriers to conducting and reporting assessments, and interest in involving patients and policymakers. A framework was created with 20 recommendations for systematically reporting on data quality and describing stewardship efforts to address growing use of electronic healthcare data from multiple sources.
