While some quality dimensions may be of more importance for the purposes of ESA, users may have different priorities. This approach does not assume what those may be. An overall traffic light indicator was produced from the dimension traffic lights for each statistic. The overall traffic light for the statistic was assessed as follows: Green: The overall quality of this statistic met an acceptable standard for the purpose of ESA for the quality indicators selected and the appropriate quality practices and processes were in place. Amber: The overall quality of this statistic was reasonable for the purpose of ESA, but lacked in some areas for the quality indicators selected and there was some investment needed to improve the quality. Red: There were significant gaps in the quality of the statistic for the purpose of ESA for the quality indicators selected and there was significant investment needed to improve the quality. The following scoring rules were applied to the overall statistic assessment: 1. Overall traffic light is Green if: four or more dimensions were Green and there were no Red dimensions 2. Overall traffic light is Red if: two or more dimensions were Red (regardless of whether the other indicators were Green or Amber) 3. If none of the above conditions apply then overall traffic light is Amber This approach is based on the Canadian Institute of Health Information’s Data Quality Reports (footnote 1). Footnotes 1.
