Quality and Accessibility of Information
Quantitative or qualitative data used in the report on how many patients have been admitted for pneumonia over the past several months would need to be complete in that it shows evidence of each of the following characteristics: accuracy, accessibility, comprehensiveness, completeness, consistency, currency, definition, granularity, precision, lineage, relevancy, and timeliness. The same holds true for a scenario in which a drug has been recalled and patients need to be contacted. Data should be quality in both cases, as it informs the reader of pertinent stats and needed facts (Lin, 2013).
In the case of providing a report on the number of patients admitted for pneumonia, an example of accuracy of data would be that the report truly represents the actuality or the reality of the situation. Names, for example, are not misspelled and indicate actually persons in both qualitative and quantitative data and for the purpose of this report the actual number of admitted patients is correct and not "off" by any margin of error. In the scenario in which affected patients need to be identified for a drug recall, names, addresses, phone numbers and treatments (the drugs used/prescribed) plus dates would need to be generated.
Accessibility in this case would mean that the data is easily located by spreadsheet, for example, or by presentation index. Patients who present with symptoms of pneumonia should be catalogued and, if admitted, recorded for such. Thus categorically this information should be easily accessible and presented with the same ease in the report, whether qualitative or quantitative -- for example, in the executive summary or abstract at the top of the report. In the scenario involving the drug recall, the data would need to be easily found in spreadsheet-like or column form, with numbers, names and drug prescription with dates would need to be given in alphabetical order.

Introduction In the US, healthcare safety isn’t up to the mark, as it ought to be. Figures from a couple of important research works reveal that between 44,000 and 98,000 individuals lose their lives per annum within healthcare settings owing to preventable clinical errors. Even if one uses the lower figure, preventable clinical mistakes within healthcare facilities surpass mortality attributed to feared risks like motor accidents, AIDS and breast cancer. The
