File Description: These files track data discrepancies and resolutions in the Center for Epidemiologic Research's (CER) electronic files.
The ERROR file is used to ensure that data files do not contain erroneous data. Variables include a CER identification number for each worker, facility code, name of the program detecting the error, and three comment fields. The file contains 75,074 records.
The FIXED file consists of data errors occurring in files compiled by the CER. The file contains 23,818 records and includes information such as CER identification number, facility code, name of the program detecting the error, dates when the error was detected and fixed, error code, source, and three comment fields.
The MERGE file serves to track individuals initially assigned two or more identification numbers which were subsequently merged into one number. Variables include merge request number, date the CER identification numbers were merged, status of merge, and person making the request.
