Development and Evaluation of a Data Quality Management System for the Korea Biobank Network.

ABSTRACT

As the reliance on clinical epidemiological information from human specimens grows, so does the need for effective clinical information management systems, particularly for biobanks. Our study focuses on enhancing the Korea Biobank Network's (KBN) system with data quality verification features. By comparing the quality of data collected before and after these enhancements, we observed a notable improvement in data accuracy, with the error rate decreasing from 0.1198% to 0.0492%. This advancement underscores the importance of robust data quality management in supporting high-quality clinical research and sets a precedent for the development of clinical information management systems.
