Corrections and concerns
How to challenge content on Health Nexus, report an error or raise a concern, and what happens next.
Corrections and concerns in four parts.
Where to write.
| Concern | Write to |
|---|---|
| An error or a challenge to a finding | the integrity concern form |
| Privacy | the privacy request form |
| A safeguarding concern | the safeguarding report form |
The mistakes most often found in health analysis.
- Comparing case counts across places with different testing.
- Treating physical beds as staffed capacity.
- Reading a scenario projection as a prediction.
- Using crude rates where age structure differs.
How the process runs.
