Article Summary

Background and Strategy

When the Local Transform Layer objects have been completed, a holistic validation of the newly created objects should be performed.

As with the prior validation exercises, the main venue will be the Case Review screen for each object, with useful configurations of sorting and column pinning -- as well as filtering to suspicious or otherwise interesting cases -- memorialized as boards.

Key Diagnostics / Heuristics

  • Are the Source ID and Source Data Effective Datetime fields published for every object and populated on each record?
  • Are critical fields (e.g., Patient ID, various Provider ID fields) sometimes or always NULL?
  • Is the construction of the Data Model Key identifiers (especially Patient ID and Provider ID fields) consistent? (Look especially for the inadvertent omission of prepended tokens described in Determine the mappings for identifier fields.)
  • Are service line numbers well-formed, always with a single record with line number = 1.
  • Do the minimum and maximum values of fields, especially numeric and date columns, fall within the expected range?
  • Do any fields still contain special characters or strings meant to represent missing or NULL data?
  • For objects representing final action claims or billing records, are there any records with negative allowed or paid amounts?
