Overview
What this challenge is about.
Build a Python audit notebook for a 14M-record civic health dataset and earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The agency is preparing the extract for a multi-year research collaboration with 4 university partners — flawed data ruins any downstream analysis and damages the agency's reputation.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Audit 14M de-identified EHR records across completeness, consistency, plausibility, and temporal correctness, and publish a severity-ranked report with remediation guidance.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design data-quality checks across multiple dimensions on real EHR data
- Map free-text clinical fields against SNOMED CT codings
- Communicate data-quality findings to a non-engineering audience
- Make scientific audits reproducible without leaking patient identifiers
