A usable standard tells staff how to name, classify, correct and connect the records they handle most often.
Step 01
Define minimum completeness
Identify what makes each important record usable without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Step 02
Control shared vocabulary
Standardize types, statuses and classifications that teams need to filter or interpret consistently.
Step 03
Create a correction path
Assign responsibility for duplicate review, relationship errors and contested values so staff do not create parallel records.
