11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Certain procedures are implemented in order to monitor the quality of administrative data for births and deaths received from the Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD): an evaluation of the variables obtained takes place, outliers are detected and re-checked with the CRMD, duplicates are identified and deleted. For survey results, in addition to the consistency and validation checks already implemented in the CAPI questionnaire, a recording system which is installed in the tablets used for the survey enables the assessment of the quality of the work conducted by interviewers. Also, indicators per inteviewer are calculated as an extra measure to monitor their work. Finally, complementary data sources are used to verify trends and indicators resulting from the data analysis. When the results of the Census of Population 2021 will be finalised, the data will be revised for the year 2021 and for the inter-Censal period. |
