Attachment C <br />7.3.L <br />7.3 Appendix C: HMIS Data Quality <br />Shelter Programs are required to provide quality data to the best of their ability. Maintaining good data <br />quality is important for effective program evaluation. Data quality has four elements: completeness, <br />timeliness, accuracy and consistency. <br />Completeness <br />Completeness of data is measured by the percentage of incomplete fields in required data elements. <br />Shelter Programs are expected to collect first name, last name, date of birth, race and ethnicity from <br />participants that give consent on the HMIS consent form. Shelter Programs will never require a <br />participant to provide this information even if they have consented, but should gather it to the best <br />of their ability. <br />All participants, consenting and non-consenting, must have complete prior living situation and exit <br />destination data. <br />incomplete entries: <br />know, Client refused or Data not collected; or [Date of Birth] is missing. ii Race* , [Race] field contains Client doesn't know, Client refused, Data not collected, or is <br />i iirrnicity* i:it;#iviii"ro .onirins ctient doesn't know, ctient refused, Data not .orrdii"o, o,. ii l <br />i <br />Prior Living Situation , [Prior Living Situation] is client doesn't know, client refused, data not collected, or is <br />l <br />i <br />, Destination , [Destination] is Client doesn't know, Client refused, No exit interview completed, <br />iI <br />iData not collected, or is missing. <br />*Only measured for consenting participants <br />Expected com plete ness m eas u res <br />r Data Element <br />I Name* <br />: Date of Birth* <br />Name* <br />, o"i" oieiith. <br />, Race* <br />5% <br />:85% <br />80% <br />80% <br />.89% <br />80% <br />lncomplete if... <br />[Quality of Name] field contains Partial, Street name, or Code name, Client doesn't <br />, knoyl,CligltlellsggorDglan9tc9-ll.gcte_d;grffilgtNamelor{Lgst!)lalnel_!1mllsjng, <br />[Quality of DOB] field contains Approximate, Partial DOB reported, Client doesn't <br />85%80% <br />i8 <br />I <br />j 85Yo <br />8s% <br />',8tolo*Only measured for consenting participants. <br />lncom Entries <br />Emergency <br />Shelter <br />Night-by- <br />Night/Drop-in <br />Data Element <br />Shelter <br />Page O42 <br />25
