Integrated Reporting

Another use case for the MDR is in reporting, whereby hospital trusts all over UK are required to report back data to central NHS databases.

Different departments may use different representations for their data, as illustrated here name and age are held differently in different departments.

By using the metadata registry toolkit a datamanager can easily see differences in the way reports are formated, and then apply transformations of the reports to ensure conformance with a single data standard.
