Data Capture Quality

CPI maintains 99.95% accuracy with these methods:

• OCR/ICR voting technology in which two or more OCR engines must agree on character validity or flag the character for manual verification
• Double/triple Entry Keying: Another voting method where two or more operators type the same data. Electronic comparison spots any differences for correction or client notification of illegible documents.
• Verification Software: Using business rules, field validation, table lookups, consistency formulas and logic rules. Validation tables assure that only acceptable data is entered and spelled correctly. For example programs check Zip Code, city and state against Postal Service database or match medical diagnostic codes against International Classification of Diseases database. Custom validation rules and checks can be set.
• Logic Rules: This is automated common sense, in effect. A Social Security number must have nine numbers, for instance. Data must accurately sum or calculate in different sections of forms or reports. Dates must meet logical ranges and sequences. Anything else is flagged for checking. Spell-checking and proofreading software, as well as humans, are used when appropriate.
• Random Checks: We also perform spot checks of data entry accuracy, proofreading and visual inspection of output documents or databases, and data sorts with logic rules. In addition, each staff member's accuracy is monitored to improve training and reduce errors.
