The Data Quality Platform Trusted by Canada’s Largest Hospitals
For over 20 years, 3terra’s Data Quality Assist (DQA) platform helped Canadian hospitals improve coding accuracy and strengthen data quality. We ensure your data reflects the complexity of care you provide while helping your team navigate evolving methodologies and fragmented data sources.
Our average hospital client sees a 10x ROI on their investment in DQA.
What DQA Does for Your Hospital
DQA is a specialized suite of software tools used by leading hospitals to optimize clinical coding and continuously monitor data quality across every patient. Our platform enables your Decision Support, HIM, and Finance teams to focus less on data issues and more on improving patient care and long-term planning.
Identify documentation gaps and coding inconsistencies.
Detect errors that impact funding and performance metrics.
Ensure alignment with Canadian and provincial methodologies.
Improve the overall accuracy of reported patient care data.
Automated Data Quality Audits
Rather than relying on manual audits or random sampling, DQA includes a fully automated audit engine that reviews 100% of coded cases. This allows your team to continuously monitor data quality and focus their energy on the highest-impact cases.
Identifies high-probability and high-impact issues.
Prioritizes cases based on funding impact and the likelihood of error.
Tracks every error and correction at the individual case level.
Automatically re-audits cases whenever data is updated or rules change.
Supports a culture of continuous data quality improvement.
Funding and Performance Accuracy
Accurate coding is the backbone of hospital funding and performance measurement. DQA supports key Canadian performance metrics and funding models to ensure that reporting metrics accurately reflect the quality of care provided by your organization.
Critical performance metrics including mortality (HSMR), harm, and ALC.
Complexity and case mix index (CMI).
Volume-based funding, such as Quality Based Procedures (QBPs).
Complexity-based funding, such as Growth and Efficiency Model (GEM, previously HBAM).
ED performance, such as Pay-for-Results (ED P4R).
Integrated Data Across Hospital Systems
DQA eliminates fragmented workflows by bringing data from across your entire hospital into a single environment. This improved visibility ensures that your data remains consistent across all departments.
Integrates EMR and HIS data, including HL7 and FHIR feeds.
Supports data warehouses and manual data inputs.
Enables the addition of new data sources without vendor dependency.
Built for Continuous Improvement
DQA is designed to evolve alongside your hospital and the broader healthcare system. Your team can adapt to changing requirements while continuously improving coding accuracy.
Flexible rule engine for creating new data quality checks.
Ongoing updates to stay aligned with Canadian and provincial methodologies.
Collaboration tools for case review and workflow management.
Advanced reporting to track coding efficiency and audit outcomes.
Rapid Implementation and Immediate Value
Your IT team is already stretched thin. DQA is implemented quickly with minimal internal effort, allowing you to realize value almost immediately.
Deployment typically occurs within one week.
No complex IT infrastructure requirements.
Immediate access to AI, rules, and integrations.
Flexible, subscription-based model.
