How to improve your environmental data confidence
When your environmental data is handled by multiple team members, labs, and stakeholders, it can be easy to feel unsure about your data quality. On top of that, there’s the need to cross-check against regulatory requirements. Reviewing and editing your database takes time, leading to project delays and compromising efficiency.
To improve your environmental data confidence, here are some steps you can keep in mind:
Continuous Improvement Process: Even the most well-documented processes could use a review. Automation can drastically reduce the likelihood of error for most teams, especially when implemented in the early stages of data entry and validation. It’s also important to keep everyone on track with your data management process and communicate problems as you go.
Verify, verify, verify: Keeping track of regulatory requirements can be deceptively challenging. Have your data cross-reviewed for compliance to ensure it meets environmental standards, and compare it to past data if necessary. Make sure to keep your team up to date with the situation throughout the verification process.
Analyse and report: When it comes to data confidence, understanding is key. Keeping your data presentation concise and descriptive is important – whether it be for stakeholders or for team members. Present your conclusions after ensuring your data meets quality assurance standards and disclose any conditions affecting your analysis.
Using the right data management tools improves your (and your team’s!) data confidence. Here’s how ESdat upgrades your data, helping you stay on top of project deadlines and work more efficiently:
Automation: ESdat supports automated data validation processes, drastically reducing the time spent on verification and eliminating common data management mistakes. Furthermore, data is automatically loaded into corresponding projects and regularly updated based on the latest results from your lab.
