QDQ: Send in Your Ideas... and Your Scores
As you may know, the Quarterly Data Quality (QDQ) process that started in January of 2020 is once again being evaluated. In the summer of 2020, a small group of monitoring partners, end users, and ICA staff discussed the Timeliness score category and made changes to the scoring rubric.
These reviews help make QDQ a better process. The individual data elements are not all evaluated the same way, and it is important to hear from everyone involved in QDQ how the process is understood and used agency-by-agency.
So, if you feel there is a particular scoring of a data element that needs more scrutiny, or a score category in general that could use a change, please let us know. We cannot guarantee that every request will become a change to the rubric, but we want to make sure the rubric is reflecting a measurement of quality data. ICA’s QDQ team and the QDQ monitoring partners will review the suggestions and update the scoring by October 2021.
The QDQ Scoring Rubric can be found on the QDQ page of the Minnesota ICA website.
