Why is it important to collect, clean, and standardize data?
Health care organizations collect information from every patient they see. This could include anything from lab results and radiology reports to age, gender, and why and how frequently they’ve been admitted to a hospital. This information is collected as “data” and is analyzed by physicians, health care teams, and hospitals to make important operational and clinical decisions.
Over time, each hospital, and often even each department, has established their own way of collecting, labeling, and organizing their data. As a result, it can be challenging for physicians, care teams, and hospitals to compile their data into a format that can be analyzed across departments and sights to generate insights that improve patient care.
Our methods achieve 98-100% accuracy compared to manual review of medical records
To ensure that GEMINI data meet the highest quality standards, GEMINI performs rigorous data cleaning and validation processes for every batch of data we receive.
