Data Quality
• When should we update a consumers data?
– Most grants have guidelines for when data needs to be updated.
– NMIS policy is every 6 months or each time you serve a consumer and are aware of changes you update/make the appropriate changes.
Only remove people that will be gone for 30
days or more
Everyone is in a household
Households
NEVER delete a household member
Entry/Exits
• Designed to show data that was entered AT or BEFORE the Entry/Exit Entry Date.
• ALL consumers entering in a household must have the same Entry/Exit Group ID to keep them as a family.
• Designed to show a comparison between Entry and Exit.
Summary
• Data quality – is what we all strive for
• Users understanding the need for data – are critical to every program
