The purpose of the study was to map and describe the healthcare utilization databases (HUDs) available in Italy’s 19 regions and two autonomous provinces and develop a tool to navigate through them. A census of the HUDs covering the population of a single region/province and recording local-level data was conducted between January 2014 and October 2016. The characteristics of each HUD regarding the start year, data type and completeness, data management system (DMS), data protection procedures, and data quality control adopted were collected through interviews with the database managers using a standard questionnaire or directly from the website of the regional body managing them. Overall, 352 HUDs met the study criteria. The DMSs, anonymization procedures of personal identification data, and frequency of data quality control were fairly homogeneous within regions, whereas the number of HUDs, data availability, type of identification code, and anonymization procedures were considerably heterogeneous across regions. The study provides an updated inventory of the available regional HUDs in Italy and highlights the need for greater homogeneity across regions to improve comparability of health data from secondary sources. It could represent a reference model for other countries to provide information on the available HUDs and their features, enhancing epidemiological studies across countries.

Traditional artificial perception quality control methods of marine environment monitoring data have many disadvantages, including high labor costs and mistakes of data review. Based on GIS spatial analysis technology, Marine Environment Monitoring Data Quality Control System is established according to the Bohai Sea monitoring regulation. In the practical application process, it plays the role of improving efficiency of quality control, saving the manpower and financial resources. It also provides an important guarantee for the comprehensive analysis and management of marine environment data.

Seafloor Observatory

With the construction and deployment of seafloor observatories around the world, massive amounts of oceanographic measurement data were gathered and transmitted to data centers. The increase in the amount of observed data not only provides support for marine scientific research but also raises the requirements for data quality control, as scientists must ensure that their research outcomes come from high-quality data. In this paper, we first analyzed and defined data quality problems occurring in the East China Sea Seafloor Observatory System (ECSSOS). We then proposed a method to detect and repair the data quality problems of seafloor observatories. Incorporating data statistics and expert knowledge from domain specialists, the proposed method consists of three parts: a general pretest to preprocess data and provide a router for further processing, data outlier detection methods to label suspect data points, and a data interpolation method to fill up missing and suspect data. The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was improved and applied to seafloor observatory data quality control by using a sliding window and cleaning the input modeling data. Furthermore, a quality control flag system was also proposed and applied to describe data quality control results and processing procedure information. The real observed data in ECSSOS were used to implement and test the proposed method. The results demonstrated that the proposed method performed effectively at detecting and repairing data quality problems for seafloor observatory data.
