Data is information and information is the most important aspect in any business. Unless the available data is not converted into accessible information the company or business will not be aware of the details of business and cannot conduct business properly. Data can either be customer details, product details, statistics about sale, or inventory related information and more. It is highly essential to have the required information at one's fingertips at the right time. This requires proper data/documents conversion and management.

The conventional method of keeping paper documents has given way to the new age electronic documentation. Thus data conversion from paper to files on a computer is one of the first data conversion processes. While doing such basic conversion processes it may be required that the service provider comes to the clients premises and scans the entire old records and data. So unless the provider is not available within the country it some times becomes difficult to directly outsource paper data conversion. Another available option however is shipping of the documents.

Data quality can be defined as the usefulness of any data as information. Any raw data has to be processed and made into a knowledge base. Once the data is processed its quality has to be assessed. How do we evaluate or assess a particular database? The basic objective of the company is always taken as a reference and tested with the data to see if it is suitable for the intended purpose.

Some of the following methods are used for assessing data quality,

• Data changes can be studied using baseline analysis
• Checking for data overlapping or duplication
• Comparing Key of one table to column of other table
• Check one column at a time
• Cross check column to rows

Data quality assessment starts with first checking for the structure and content of the data. This is followed by the detailed analysis. During the analysis of the data quality usually many inferences are made. This is the time to improve the data quality. Every time some inferences are made, they are again checked and reviewed. Decisions are made as to whether the inferences are to be accepted or not.

After the data is assessed a final data assessment report is made that is a professional document that offers insight and solutions. The quality report reports about the level of quality of the existing data. The reasons for lower level of quality is high lighted and it also includes suggestions or plans to improve the quality of the data base in the future.

A challenging area like medical informatics where the quality of data is determined by the medical records and its concordance between computers based record and a reference standard is to be noted. This critical data is re used to take clinical decisions and for further research. Currently there is a need for research to develop better language structures for perfectly representing clinical phenomena and reducing medical errors.

If you are a law professional in the US, or are working for a law firm and are legal process outsourcing some of your client's work to an offshore destination in India, then before you actually send out any confidential information pertaining to your client, is it necessary to get the client's consent? Is it ethical to outsource legal works? Such issues are the main topics of discussion in the legal BPO sectors and forums.

Last summer there was a formal opinion published by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York Committee on Professional and Judicial Ethics on the ethics of overseas outsourcing. This is published online at http://www.nycbar.org. The New York City Bar Association has confirmed that there is nothing unethical in outsourcing legal works to overseas legal, paralegal, or others. Only thing is that if some clerical work is given to a non law professional then it has to be done under the supervision of a lawyer. It also confirmed that the total responsibility was on the lawyer who was outsourcing/offshoring the work. The bar also suggested that the hiring attorney should get considerable background information about the company doing the work, rigorously supervise all nonlegal staff's works, and keep constant communication with them during the project.

Legal Outsourcing in India is fast evolving and all set to take the outsourcing world to involve professional lawyers like never before. There are going to be no hindrances. It is a win win situation especially for the US based smaller law firms who could not afford such services before. Even though it is not necessary to ask clients consent every time work is outsourced it is better to keep them informed when sensitive information may have to be shared with non lawyers during outsourcing. The monetary benefits of outsourcing should also be shared with the clients by appropriately billing the client the New York City Bar opined.

Remote data entry is also refereed to as RDE. It involves collection of data in electronic format in a computerized environment.

A typical RDE system has the three basic components.

• A graphical interface (GUI) for data entry

• Data analysis and reporting component

RDE software has evolved into a more sophisticated system known as EDC or electronic data capture. The main purpose of RDE was to prevent errors in clinical research data when a new drug or medical equipment is tested. Earlier research used to rely on paper forms which were collected and sent to the sponsors of the research. This was a delayed procedure which lacked accuracy. Hence RDE evolved which allowed physicians to enter data remotely and data was available faster with less errors. Laptops have to be generally used during RDE.

Present day remote data entry is based on the internet and is a highly efficient procedure, that uses the web based software EDC which is highly reliable and efficient. EDC is further evolving and converging with other software solutions like CDMS (clinical data management systems) to reach standards that are defined by institutions like HL7 (health level seven) accredited by ANSI (American National Standards Institute).
