Abstract
A network data quality check which computes the proportion of visits with missing fact types. For example, one of the applications of this could be to check the proportion of inpatient visits without an associated condition. This check type can also compute combination of facts such as inpatient visits without an association condition OR medication administration.
Results of this check for the current data cycle can be explored on the PEDSnet Data Quality Dashboard. Data quality results for previous data cycles have been archived in the Person Facts/Records Network Results collection.

Visualization Output
NOTE: Visualizations are NOT part of the packaged code. This description applies to the visualizations available on the PEDSnet Data Quality Dashboard.
Two different plots are used to display the patient and visit level proportions. The patient level proportions are shown on a heatmap, with domain on the Y axis, site on the X axis, and proportion as the fill of the heatmap. The visit level proportions are displayed on a bar graph with the proportion along the X axis and domain on the Y axis (only results for one site can be viewed at a time). Both are facetted by visit type.
