Data Quality Issues -
Multiple Open Episodes and Overlapping Episodes
• An episode of treatment is defined from the Referral Date through to the
Discharge Date.
• A client should only have one open episode of treatment at any
given time at one agency.
• Episodes of treatment within an agency should not overlap.
• Multiple open and overlapping episodes are usually created by
the Referral Date being changed.

Data Quality Issues Multiple Open and Overlapping Modalities
• A modality is defined from the date referred to modality
through to the modality end date.
• A client must not have an identical modality type open at
the same time at any given time at one agency.
• Multiple open and Overlapping Modalities are usually
created by changing the referred to modality date.
