When designing data definitions,

by

When designing data definitions, you will be assigning meaning to the data elements that are part of the computerized data. If there is no definition to the data, then it is not information. Write a paper of two (2) pages not including the title page, abstract page, and reference page that discusses the following:

  • Design a list of 10 data elements related to the patient demographic information (refer back to the data sets if necessary).
  • Indicate characteristics of each example, such as date format, text, alphanumeric, and so on.
  • Define the number of characters for each data element and if it is required data based on a data set.

Be sure to support your information by citing at least 2 references using APA format.
