Visualizing the quality of partially accruing data for use in decision making
The state of data management across the sciences is getting increasingly complex as data stores build up, and the world of public health is no less affected. Making sense of data is one portion of management, but quality analysis is also an important but slightly understated aspect as well. This 2015 paper by Eaton et al. explains a series of "data quality tools developed to gain insight into the data quality problems associated with these data." The group concludes "our key insight was the need to assess temporal patterns in the data in terms of accrual lag."

What happens when you integrate a digital pathology system (DPS) with an anatomical pathology laboratory information system (APLIS)? In the case of Guo et al. and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, "[t]he integration streamlined our digital sign-out workflow, diminished the potential for human error related to matching slides, and improved the sign-out experience for pathologists." This paper, published in Journal of Pathology Informatics in 2016, describes their line of thinking, integration plans, and final results.

A polyglot approach to bioinformatics data integration: A phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1
In this 2016 paper published in Evolutionary Bioinformatics, Reisman et al. discuss a polyglot approach "involving multiple languages, libraries, and persistence mechanisms" towards managing genomic sequence data. Using a NoSQL and RESTful web service approach, the team tested their developed pipeline on an evolutionary study of HIV-1. They conclude that " the case study highlights the abilities of the tool," and "although utilized for the investigation of a virus here, the approach can be applied to any species of interest."
White Paper – Data Integrity
Data integrity, an area of increasing priority in today’s laboratory world and "The focus area" when it comes to regulatory compliance such as 21 CFR Part 11 and Eudralex Annex 11. Considering the number of warning letters from USFDA and other such regulatory bodies issued to pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturers across the globe, Data integrity is the "Buzz word" intoday’s audit.White Paper – Data Integrity
