A Key Differentiator:

MSA’s Quality Patient Data Process

Continuous transparent focus on technical excellence

Data quality comes to the forefront when looking at the value of the decisions made based on that data.

MSA’s Data Quality Management processes ensure that the highest quality data is used for the advanced analytics that lead to more informed decisions, greater efficiency, and ultimately, a competitive advantage.

Our Quality Process, supported by a combination of technology platforms and expert technologists, begins with defining project strategy, continues with on-boarding data providers, followed by file processing and quality measurement and on-going data provider management.

Data fed into a Dashboard at each step allows Customers, Data Providers, and MSA Operations Staff to understand status and issues, and make continuous quality improvements.
