Agenda

Introduction u  Environmental Information Management

System (EIM). u  Data validation module (DVM). DVM Setup u  Configure validation plan and settings. Validation u  Perform automated validation. u  Review/update findings. u  Produce report outputs.

Page 3: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

u  Cloud based environmental data management software.

u  Data uploaded by labs, consultants, and data owners.

u  Login via web browser and run data tools.

u  Features include validation, sample planning, regulatory exports (e.g. ERPIMS), and visualization tools.

What is EIM?

Automated DVM Checks

u  Holding Times u  Blank Detects u  Spike Control Limits u  Duplicate RPDs u  Total vs Dissolved Metals RPDs u  Required QC Components u  Sensitivity of Reporting Limits u  Missing QC criteria u  Sample Condition

Typical Level II Components.

Why Use Validation in EIM?

u  Improve quality by standardizing validation approach.

u  Reduce costs by automating time-intensive processes that are prone to error when performed manually.

u  Focus skilled resources on critical data issues.

u  Fast to generate initial validation findings.

Configure Validation

The Basics u  Locus works with chemist/

validator on setup. u  Establish validation plan

and set criteria to QAPP. u  Customize validation

qualifiers/reason codes. u  Configure validation

controls.

Page 8: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Creating Validation Plan and Criteria

Establish Validation Plan “Option Set”

Apply Validation Criteria to Plan

DVM settings are business rules based on the logic of the validation approach.

Page 9: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Applying Validation Criteria

Create Holding Times

Set Required QC Samples

Page 10: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Build Qualifiers to Apply

EIM has reason codes for QC scenarios checked during validation.

Input validation qualifier (if any) DVM should apply for QC scenario.

Page 11: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Custom Setup Options

Apply optional special handling of certain QC situations by DVM.

Page 12: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Running Validation

u  Run validation checks. u  Review data outliers. u  Review auto-applied

validation findings. u  Add validation findings from

offline (manual) components. u  Download data reports on

findings/QC issues.

The DVM steps up to support the validation process…

Starting Validation Support staff can prep EDD and start validation checks, then hand off to validator.

Start the validation process.

Snapshot of Validation Outcome

Fixed reports show different groupings of validation findings and QC outcomes.

Page 16: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Surrogate Recovery Reports

Quick overviews of surrogate counts and outliers with hyperlinks to outlier records.

Field Duplicates and Required QC Field duplicate pair RPDs.

VOC results missing a trip blank sample.

Review, Edit, or Add Findings Review automated validation finding using filter criteria to narrow down dataset.

Change auto-applied findings or add in qualifiers from offline validation inputs like calibration or raw data review.

Page 19: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Document Entire Review Process

Handy to add supporting documentation, including verification (e.g., Form 1 review) and Level III/IV offline review or professional judgment applied to findings.

Page 20: Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System - NEMCnemc.us/docs/2014/Presentations/Thu-Data Management... · Electronic Data Validation Using the EIM System Locus Technologies

Data Quality Report Tables

Example percent completeness report.

Quickly produce downloadable tables to communicate/report validation outcome.

Takeaways….

u  EIM automates what can be automated.

u  Once configured, DVM is fast!

u  Reduces costs of the overall process.

u  Catch errors earlier in process before data are finalized.

u  Validator focus on critical quality elements.

EIM customer estimated $1.7 million cost savings from EIM DVM: 3,948 EDDs from 2/1/2012 to 01/01/2014.
