Assuring data and information quality in eHealth

As organizations have begun increasingly to communicate and interact with consumers via the wireless, so the data and information quality (DIQ) of their offerings has become a central issue since it ensures service usability and utility for each visitor and, in addition, improves server utilization. In this article, we present Quality-enable eHealth system architecture, eQualityHealth, by introducing a DIQ broker module between service clients and providers (servers). The functions of the DIQ broker module include assessing DIQ about servers, making selection decisions for clients, and negotiating with servers to get DIQ agreements. We study a data quality assurance algorithms used by DIQ brokers acting as the front-end of servers. The goal of this qualitative algorithms based on fuzzy computing is to measure the data quality and to facilitate user participation.
