Video Transcription

An outlier is a warning designed to inform the abstractor of a value which is falling outside of the usual range, but still within the valid range for a specific element.  Outlier warnings are helpful in assisting the abstractor to identify keystroke errors and decimal misplacements.  Outlier warnings are generated by both the ACC Data Collection Tool through the Quality Check, for those users that submit data through the ACC Online Data Collection Tool, and by  the Quality Review DQR process for all users.
