Desarrollo de una Escala de Calidad de la Información transmitida por Medios de Comunicación Electrónicos (ECIME) / Development of a Quality Information Scale broadcasted by Electronic Media (QISEM)

Resumen La producción de la información, en relación con su calidad dentro de la práctica periodística en general, está supeditada a diversos criterios, como la veracidad de la fuente, la acreditación de los autores, la comprensión del texto y la relevancia de la información, entre otros indicadores. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue desarrollar una escala para evaluar la calidad de la información transmitida por medios de comunicación en Internet. Para ello, se realizaron tres etapas generales: la primera estuvo conformada por 13 estudios, donde, después de un análisis de contenido, se extrajeron las dimensiones o aspectos de la calidad de la información más frecuentemente mencionados. Posteriormente, se procedió a la detección de 35 indicadores, clasificados en 5 dimensiones; en la segunda se obtuvieron 65 ítems, a partir de la clasificación de 5 dimensiones y los 35 indicadores; en la tercera se pilotó el instrumento obtenido, el cual adquirió un formato de lista de verificación integrado por 38 ítems, y con el propósito de determinar la validez de discriminación y la confiabilidad de la escala, se aplicó a una muestra no aleatoria de 100 noticias sobre COVID-19, publicadas en sitios de internet durante el 21 de enero de 2020 y el 31 de julio de 2021. La escala desarrollada permitió evaluar la calidad de la información que se transmite por medios de comunicación electrónicos, por lo que puede ser utilizada para mejorar las prácticas de los encargados de construir el contenido informativo y divulgarlo.

Abstract Information production, regarding its quality within journalistic practice in general, is subject to various criteria, such as the veracity of the source, the accreditation of the authors, the understanding of the text, and the relevance of the information, among other indicators. The objective of the present work was to develop a scale to assess the quality of information broadcasted by media on the Internet. To achieve this goal, three general stages were carried out: the first consisted of 13 studies, where, after a content analysis, the most frequently mentioned quality information dimensions were extracted. Subsequently, 35 indicators classified in 5 dimensions were detected. In the second stage, 65 items were obtained from the classification of 5 dimensions and 35 indicators. In the third stage, the obtained instrument was piloted. The instrument acquired a checklist format made up of 38 items. To determine the discrimination validity and the reliability of the scale, it was applied to a non-random sample of 100 COVID-19 news posted on internet sites from January 21st, 2020, to July 31, 2021. The developed scale allowed the evaluation of the quality of information broadcasted by electronic media, it can therefore be used to improve the practices of those in charge of constructing the informative content and disseminating it.

Research on quality evaluation of health information on breast cancer treatment in chinese website / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To evaluate the quality, content and feasibility of health information on breast cancer treatment in Chinese websites, for reference in standardizing online health information.Methods:In January 2022, three Chinese search engines, namely Baidu, Sogou and Haosou, were used to search with " breast cancer" and " breast cancer treatment" as keywords. The first 50 links identified by each engine were accessed to screen breast cancer treatment health information websites. Subsequently, the DISCERN scoring tool was adopted to evaluate the quality of health information on the websites(16 items). The information content(10 items)assessment was conducted by referring to the " Guidelines and Specifications for Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association(2019 Edition)". The feasibility of website health information was evaluated with Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool(PEMAT).Results:A total of 19 websites were included, and their service mode was mainly active information service(14 websites). The overall scoring for the quality of health information about breast cancer treatment was 2.0, with the highest score of " clarity of purpose" (3.4). According to the assessment results of information content, these websites were divided into 4 grades: excellent(3), good(11), fair(3), and poor(2). All the websites contained the information on clinical manifestations, etiology, examination and treatment of breast cancer. The overall feasibility of website health information was 44.5%, indicating incomplete feasibility.Conclusions:The Chinese website′s health information on breast cancer treatment is poor in quality and implementation. Hence, it′s urgent to further improve and standardize online health information, establishing a unified evaluation standard and actively exploring the new mode of " Internet+ Medical" service.

Influence of Ordering Kiosk Nutrition Information Transparency and Information Quality on the Customer Behavioral Intention in Fast Food Restaurants

This study examined the perception and behavior of fast food restaurant customers toward ordering kiosk nutrition information. Specifically, the influence of nutrition information transparency and information quality on behavioral intention and revisit intention were identified. In addition, the difference in the nutrition information transparency and information quality was analyzed according to the health consciousness of the customers. The study employed a self-administered survey that was distributed both online and offline from November 8~22, 2018. The sample of the study was customers who had experienced ordering from the kiosk in a fast food restaurant in the six months prior to taking the survey. A total of 250 (98.0%) respondents completed the survey, which was used for data analysis. As a result, there was a significant relation between transparency and nutrition information quality (P<0.001). The higher the visibility and inferability of the nutrition information, the better the nutrition information quality. Nutrition information quality has a significant impact on the levels of customer satisfaction and revisit intention (P<0.001). For the differences in the transparency and nutrition information quality by health consciousness of customers, the results indicated that groups with high health consciousness (3.74 or higher) perceived a higher transparency and nutritional information quality than those with a lower health consciousness. These findings can form the basis of a strategy in developing nutrition information of ordering kiosks in restaurants. In addition, it can be applied to academia and industry.

Integración de los enfoques de gestión documental y gestión de riesgos para el tratamiento de la información como evidencia de actos y transacciones organizacionales / Integration of the approaches of documentary management and risk management for the treatment of the information as evidence of acts and organizational transactions

En el presente artículo se exploran los nexos entre gestión documental y gestión de riesgos. Para esto se analiza cómo la gestión documental ha evolucionado en las últimas décadas hasta enfocarse en los procesos de captura y mantenimiento de evidencias de actos y transacciones de negocios. Se muestra cómo la literatura especializada exploró dicha relación e identificó que los documentos son tanto fuentes de información para la identificación de riesgos, como objetos de riesgos en sí mismos. Se concluye que los sistemas de gestión documental ayudan a las organizaciones a gestionar la incertidumbre en relación con el fracaso en la creación y control de documentos de calidad, por el impacto negativo que esto tiene en la capacidad de la organización para lograr sus objetivos. En este sentido se considera que un sistema de gestión documental es un sistema de gestión de riesgos, en el que es esencial la determinación de requisitos de gestión documental para la identificación y la mitigación de riesgos organizacionales derivados de la información, como evidencia de actos y transacciones de negocios(AU)

In this article the links between records management and risk management are explored. It is exposed how records management has evolved in recent decades to focus on the processes of capture and maintenance of acts evidence and business transactions. It shows how the specialized literature explored this relationship and identified that documents are both information sources for risks identification, and objects of risks in themselves. It is concluded that Records Management Systems help organizations to manage the effect of uncertainty in relation to the failure in the creation and control of quality documents, due to the negative impact that this has on the organization's capacity to achieve its objectives. In that sense a Records Management System is considered to be a Risk Management system, where it is essential the determination of records management requirements for the identification and mitigation of organizational risks derived from information as acts and business transactions evidences(AU)

Métodos para avaliar a completitude dos dados dos sistemas de informação em saúde do Brasil: uma revisão sistemática / Methods for assessing the completeness of data in health information systems in Brazil: a systematic review

Este estudo teve como objetivo revisar a literatura acerca dos métodos aplicados para avaliar a completitude dos dados dos sistemas de informação em saúde. Foram pesquisadas as bases de dados Medline, SciELO e Lilacs usando os descritores "qualidade", "qualidade dos dados", "qualidade da informação" e "sistemas de informação". Incluíram-se artigos, dissertações e teses que avaliaram o preenchimento das variáveis. Nos 19 estudos revisados os sistemas de racionalidade epidemiológica, foram os mais avaliados (90,5%). Estudos sobre completitude ainda são escassos (média de um/ano). Os métodos variam desde a sua análise isolada à avaliação de mais de uma dimensão de qualidade. O termo completitude é o mais utilizado para caracterizar o preenchimento das variáveis. O escore de Romero e Cunha é o mais frequente. As fontes e o meio de acesso aos dados mais comuns foram os bancos de dados dos SIS e o sítio do Datasus. Predominaram estudos com dados da região Sudeste e Brasil. Os indicadores que mensuram a completitude variam de uma simples frequência relativa a índices e indicadores-síntese. A heterogeneidade de métodos carece de padronização e divulgação de informações que permitam comparações entre os estudos.

The scope of this study was to review the literature on the methods used to assess the completeness of the data in health information systems. Searches were conducted in the Medline, SciELO and Lilacs databases using the key words "quality," "data quality," "quality of information" and "information systems." It included articles, dissertations and theses that assessed the fulfillment of variables. In the 19 studies reviewed, the epidemiological rationality systems were the most evaluated (90.5%). Studies on completeness are still scarce (one per year on average). Methods vary from isolated analysis to the evaluation of more than one dimension of quality. The term completeness is the word most used to characterize the fulfillment of variables. The Romero and Cunha score is the most frequent. The SIS databases and Datasus site were the sources and means of access to the most common data. Studies with data from the Southeast of Brazil were predominant. The indicators that measure the completeness vary from simple relative frequency to indices and synthesis-indicators. The heterogeneity of methods lacks standardization and dissemination of information to enable comparisons between the studies.

Completitude dos dados de cadastro de portadores de hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus registrados no Sistema Hiperdia em um estado do Nordeste do Brasil / Accuracy of registration data for patients with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus recorded in the Hiperdia system in a state in the northeast of Brazil

Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a completitude dos dados do cadastro do SisHiperdia, considerando-a por área geográfica, tipo de campo e coerência do preenchimento entre variá veis relacionadas. Trata-se de uma investigação observacional, descritiva e transversal. A amostra de 287 fichas de cadastro foi obtida aleatória e proporcionalmente entre as cinco regiões de saúde. Foram selecionadas variáveis referentes aos blocos de dados de cadastramento e atendimento, utilizando-se como indicador o percentual de incompletitude e procedendo-se a classificação pelo escore de Romero e Cunha, de 2007. Compararam-se os percentuais entre as macrorregiões de saúde pelo teste do Qui-Quadrado e a coerência do preenchimento pelo Coeficiente Kappa. Das 32 variáveis avaliadas, 68,7% tiveram completitude entre excelente e boa. Em 62,5% das variáveis, evidenciou-se melhor completitude entre os dados da 2ª macrorregião de saúde. Verificou-se que o percentual de incompletitude de campo obrigatório foi mais elevado que o não obrigatório e, embora a maioria das variáveis apresente boas condições de uso, é necessário maior envolvimento de gestores e profissionais de saúde com o processo de produção da informação, a fim de gerar dados mais completos e fidedignos.

The scope of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the data recorded in the Hiperdia system assessed by geographical area, type of field and information consistency between related variables. It involved an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation. The sample of 287 registration forms was randomly and proportionally obtained from the five health regions. Variables relating to blocks of registration and attendance data were selected using the percentage of inaccuracy as an indicator and classification was then made using the Romero and Cunha score (2007). The percentages between the health macro regions was compared using the chi-square test and the completion consistency was assessed using the Kappa coefficient. Of the 32 variables studied, 68.7% revealed good to excellent accuracy. In 62.5% of the variables, the accuracy of the data of the 2nd health macroregion was marked. The percentages of inaccuracy of mandatory data were higher than those for non-mandatory data. Although most of the variables revealed good usage conditions, greater involvement of managers and health professionals in the information production process is required in order to generate more accurate and reliable data.

Qualidade das informações registradas nas declarações de óbito fetal em São Paulo, SP / Quality of information registered on fetal deaths certificates in São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil / Calidad de las informaciones registradas en las declaraciones de óbito fetal en Sao Paulo, Sureste de Brasil

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade da informação registrada nas declarações de óbito fetal. MÉTODOS: Estudo documental com 710 óbitos fetais em hospitais de São Paulo, SP, no primeiro semestre de 2008, registrados na base unificada de óbitos da Fundação Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados e da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo. Foi analisada a completitude das variáveis das declarações de óbito fetal emitidas por hospitais e Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos. Os registros das declarações de óbito de uma amostra de 212 óbitos fetais de hospitais do Sistema Único de Saúde foram comparados com os dados dos prontuários e do registro do Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos. RESULTADOS: Dentre as declarações de óbito, 75 por cento foram emitidas pelo Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos, mais freqüente nos hospitais do Sistema Único de Saúde (78 por cento). A completitude das variáveis das declarações de óbito emitidas pelos hospitais foi mais elevada e foi maior nos hospitais não pertencentes ao Sistema Único de Saúde. Houve maior completitude, concordância e sensibilidade nas declarações de óbito emitidas pelos hospitais. Houve baixa concordância e elevada especificidade para as variáveis relativas às características maternas. Maior registro das variáveis sexo, peso ao nascer e duração da gestação foi observada nas declarações emitidas no Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos. A autópsia não resultou em aprimoramento da indicação das causas de morte: a morte fetal não especificada representou 65,7 por cento e a hipóxia intrauterina, 24,3 por cento, enquanto nas declarações emitidas pelos hospitais foi de 18,1 por cento e 41,7 por cento, respectivamente. CONCLUSÕES: É necessário aprimorar a completitude e a indicação das causas de morte dos óbitos fetais. A elevada proporção de autópsias não melhorou a qualidade da informação e a indicação das causas de morte. A qualidade das informações geradas de autópsias depende do acesso às informações hospitalares.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of information registered on fetal death certificates. METHODS: Records were reviewed from 710 fetal deaths registered in the consolidated database of deaths from the State System for Data Analysis and the São Paulo State Secretary of Health, for deaths in São Paulo municipality (Southeastern Brazil) during the first semester of 2008. Completeness was analyzed for variables on fetal death certificates issued by hospitals and autopsy service. The death certificates from a sub-sample of 212 fetal deaths in hospitals of the National Unified Health System (public) were compared to medical records and to the records from Coroners Office. RESULTS: Among death certificates, 75 percent were issues by Coroners Office, with a greater frequency in public hospitals (78 percent). Completeness of variables on death certificates issued by hospitals was higher among non-public hospitals. There was greater completeness, agreement and sensitivity in death certificates issued by hospitals. There was low agreement and high specificity for variables related to maternal characteristics. Increased reporting of gender, birth weight and gestational age was observed in certificates issued by Coroners Office. Autopsies did not result in improved ascertainment of cause of death, with 65.7 percent identified as unspecified fetal death as 24.3 percent as intrauterine hypoxia, while death certificates by hospitals reported 18.1 percent as unspecified and 41.7 percent as intrauterine hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS: Completeness and the ascertainment of cause of fetal death need to be improved. The high proportion of autopsies did not improve information and ascertainment of cause of death. The quality of information generated by autopsies depends on access to hospital records.

The Feasibility of Using Classification and Identification Techniques to Auto-Assess the Quality of Health Information on the Web / 대한의료정보학회지

OBJECTIVE: An automatic detection tool was created for examining health-related webpage quality we went further by examining its feasibility and performance. METHODS: We developed an automatic detection system to auto-assess the authorship quality indicator of an health-related information webpage for governmental websites in Taiwan. The system was integrated with the Chinese word segmentation system developed by the Academia Sinica in Taiwan and the SVM(light), which serve as an SVM (Support Vector Machine) Classifiers and a method of information extraction and identification. The system was coded in Visual Basic 6.0, using SQL 2000. RESULTS: We developed the first Chinese automatic webpage classification and information identifier to evaluate the quality of web information. The sensitivity and specificity of the classifier on the training set of webpages were both as high as 100% and only one health webpage in the test set was misclassified, due to the fact that it contained both health and non-health information content. The sensitivity of our authorship identifier is 75.3%, with a specificity of 87.9%. CONCLUSION: The technical feasibility of auto-assessment for the quality of health information on the web is acceptable. Although it is not sufficient to assure the total quality of web contents, it is good enough to be used to support the entire quality assurance program.
