Permanent URI for this collection
The 2nd annual National Data Integrity Conference was held on June 2-3, 2016 at the Student Commons Building, University of Colorado Denver in Denver, Colorado. Issues addressed at this two-day event included data privacy, openness, policy, education and the impacts of sharing data, how to do it, and when not to. Speakers and audience members came from diverse fields such as academic research, information technology, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, private industry, grant funding, and government. This digital collection includes presentations given at the conference.

Libraries, 2016-06-03) Tobin, Donald, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherData creators and users face a near-constant threat of destructive malware, ransomware and other malicious activities that can alter or destroy critical data. Information such as financial records, transaction records, research data, and even the software to analyze and manipulate the data are typically targets. These types of data integrity attacks, especially when they target an entire organization, can have a catastrophic impact on an organization's credibility and ability to operate. This project explores methods to effectively recover and restore systems to normal operations after a data corruption attack. Here at the NCCoE, we take on projects to provide practical applications of cybersecurity solutions to real-world problems.Item Open Access Digital fingerprints: implementing algorithms as technical controls(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2016-06-02) Davies, Rebecca, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherItem Open Access Public health monitoring and research: experience with electronic health record data(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-06-03) Zucker, Rachel, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherThis talk will describe the software underlying CHORDS, the concept of a federated query, the methods CHORDS uses to enable site participation, and the formal agreements required to contribute to the network or query distributed data. Finally, we will discuss growth of this technology platform and anticipated needs and challenges as CHORDS serves new use cases to enable clinical health research studies and other research activities. A key challenge is the need for patient record linkage to unduplicate an individual's medical records across systems. A solution underway seeks to transfer data to an external partner to leverage an existing master patient index tool used for clinical care.Item Open Access The clinical auditor's perspective: to err is human(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-06-03) Jasperse, Dorcie McKniff, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherAccelerated by technology, our pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries are changing at the speed of light. With these technological changes, some management personnel seem to believe that if processes are controlled by technology, lesser qualified personnel can fill many roles in the clinical trials. In some companies, this leads to a dangerous disconnect where technology improves, but the quality of the personnel diminishes and data integrity is therefore put at risk. Compounding this trend is a misplaced trust in robots and computers, and insufficient numbers of personnel to grow into the shoes of retiring seasoned veterans. In this session several examples will be provided where the most basic of human errors go undetected by personnel in clinical trials; errors that were not or could not be detected by electronic systems used to ensure data integrity. Several other examples will be provided from the aerospace and the healthcare industry. In our industry, human creativity and ingenuity abound and should flourish, however it is incumbent on all champions of quality to ensure that the source of data integrity is recognized as: • The result of well-developed technical prowess as well as a well-developed workforce armed with basic and fundamental stewardship skills and • An awareness and integration of the larger view, combined with an eye for detail to establish a solid foundation for data integrity across any situation or platform. We will provide perspectives and suggestions to address this challenging situation, helping to ensure clinical data integrity vital for FDA decision making.Item Open Access The City and County of Denver's approach to actionable intelligence with data(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-06-02) Hawkins, Denise, author; Schipper, Stacey, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherItem Open Access Facilitating the use of a 21st century resource: a new application for an old model(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-06-03) Young, Josh, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherThe US has prospered by recognizing the value of public resources and providing neutral experts able to facilitate the use of those resources whether by citizens or businesses. The Land-Grant Universities come to mind as an early example in US history when the US Congress passed the Morrill Act authorizing the selling of federal property to fund the creation of state universities focused on agricultural and technical education. Land Grants were followed by Sea Grants, Space Grants, and Sun Grants with each program following a slightly different federal funding or authorization model. In the case of Land Grants, Congress recognized the need for experts to go beyond the academic teaching of the Land-Grant Universities and authorized the creation of Land-Grant Cooperative Extension Services thereby bringing experts to rural communities with the passage of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. While each of these traditional public resources were and are valuable economic drivers for this country there are others that might be currently more significant. Specifically, it is time to recognize that data, or at least data that is publicly funded, is one of the greatest public trust resources of the 21st century. While many institutions are supporting data-related initiatives there is still a strong need for the equivalent of a Data Grant.Item Open Access A brief history of unicorn husbandry and other magical wonders: data and the library(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-06-02) Wirz, Jackie, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherItem Open Access The ecosystem of ethics & support of big data(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-06-03) Tijerina, Bonnie, author; Society of Quality Assurance, publisherResearch involving data has gotten more complicated in recent years. With corporate, governmental, and other externally collected sources of data on human behavior increasingly available as well as new concerns about collecting online data such as social media data, issues of privacy, ethics, and equitable access to data are popping up that technical researchers are not trained to manage. Systems currently in existence to help researchers navigate ethical concerns and new and emerging mandates can help with parts of the puzzle, yet many of the complex questions and tradeoffs are not best addressed by existing protocols. To surface emerging issues and potential support systems on university campuses, a team at Data & Society Research Institute interviewed computer science researchers, data scientists, graduate students, and librarians. They also mapped funder mandates, IRB trainings, and existing policies and protocols at professional associations. Bonnie Tijerina will talk about this project and broader issues of privacy and ethics emerging in other disciplines with the increased use of big data.
