Helping hospitals capture the full value of their clinical data

The platform has helped us materially improve data quality oversight, strengthen capture within volume-funded programs, and identify opportunities that may otherwise have been missed. What we value most is that DQA is not just an audit tool, it has become an effective education and continuous improvement resource for our coding and analytics teams, supported by a responsive partner that understands the hospital environment.

Data Quality plays a major role in reflecting organizational best practices and ensuring accurate funding. By optimizing our coding metrics, the 3terra DQA system has streamlined our development process, resulting in our team operating more efficiently with higher data quality.

DQA has given us a clear line of sight into quality of our corporate data and our coding performance. It’s become an essential tool for reconciliation efforts between data sources, continuous DQ improvement, and helping our coding and analytics teams work more efficiently, while providing greater confidence in the information we produce.

QCH’s experience with 3terra and its DQA platform has been extremely positive. By leveraging automated data quality audits, the solution has enabled our organization to detect and address coding inconsistencies, leading to measurable improvements in data accuracy, weighted cases, and increased confidence in our reporting. The 3terra team has been exceptional to work with. They are highly knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to provide support when questions arise. Their expertise and ongoing guidance have made a meaningful difference in our analytics program at QCH.

While Halton Healthcare already had a strong and comprehensive coding data quality program in place, we were looking for an additional tool to enhance our efforts by identifying high-impact coding opportunities more efficiently. With implementation occurring late in the fiscal year, the 3terra DQA platform quickly delivered value by prioritizing cases with the greatest potential impact without adding unnecessary workload for staff.

My team (Decision Support) is highly dependent on the data we receive from 3terra. Leveraging 3terra's SQL environment has allowed us to create reports with high business value (i.e., QBP) in a timely and accurate manner. We appreciate how supportive the 3terra team has been to incorporate new data elements from other sources (ie. BORN) so we can develop quality and operations metrics for our Maternal Newborn team.
