Ingest & mapping QA
Every record that crosses the ingestion door gets audited after the fact: deterministic integrity rules sweep the entire Data Store — every check below just ran against all 33,311 patients — and the AI reviewer reads the findings to argue root causes and fix order. The rules are the authority; the model reasons about what they found and never scores anything silently.
The integrity rules — live results
| Rule | condition | Rows | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|
| Condition onset precedes date of birth | onset_date < patients.birth_date | 0 | clean |
| Condition onset in the future | onset_date > today | 0 | clean |
| Condition abates before it begins | abatement_date < onset_date | 0 | clean |
| Encounter ends before it starts | ended_at < started_at | 0 | clean |
| Numeric result carries no unit | value_num set, unit empty ('' or NULL) | 0 | clean |
| Observation not mapped to LOINC | loinc empty - the mapping table had no target | 0 | clean |
| Active medication without dosage text | status='active', dosage empty | 2,091 |

| Document with an empty body | body empty after extraction | 0 | clean |
| Duplicate MRN (identity collision) | same MRN on more than one patient row | 0 | clean |
| Condition without a mapped code | code empty - source term never mapped | 0 | clean |
A zero is a finding too: it says the mapping held for that rule across the whole corpus. Flagged rows stay in the store — QA quarantines nothing silently; humans decide what a flag means.
✦ AI Reviewer — root causes and fix order
Overall the corpus (33,311 patients / 78,093 conditions / 47,571 medications / 440,889 observations / 150,009 encounters / 38,413 documents) shows a mapping pipeline that is largely intact for coding and identity (0 unmapped condition codes, 0 duplicate MRNs, 0 empty document bodies, 0 unit-less numeric results, 0 unmapped LOINC observations), but has real defects concentrated in **date/time handling on the Condition table** and in **medication dosage-text extraction**. Encounter timing is clean apart from a single outlier. The pattern of errors (future onset dates, abatement-before-onset, onset-before-birth) all point to problems in how date fields are parsed, aligned, or copied during ingest rather than to missing terminology mappings, which are otherwise sound.
1. **Condition onset in the future (1,672 rows, 2.1% of conditions)** — Both samples show onset dates in 2026 for patients with birth dates decades earlier, ruling out a DOB mixup. This is consistent with (a) a synthetic/simulated source clock (e.g., Synthea-style generator) whose internal "now" is ahead of the QA sweep's real-world "today," or (b) an ETL date-parsing fault (e.g., locale mismatch swapping month/day, or a timezone rollover pushing dates past midnight into the next year in edge cases). The scale (>1.6k) suggests a systemic generator/parser issue rather than isolated data entry. 2. **Condition abates before it begins (1,220 rows, 1.6%)** — Sample rows show onset/abatement pairs that look transposed (e.g., onset 2026-08-21 / abatement 2023-11-04). This strongly suggests an onset/abatement column swap for a subset of source records or condition types (likely "resolved" conditions ingested from a source table where the two date columns are ordered differently than assumed by the mapper). 3. **Condition onset precedes date of birth (122 rows, 0.16%)** — Sam
SPEC 5.13, live: deterministic rules over the full synthetic corpus, an audited model run over their output, and no automatic mutation of anything. Synthetic data throughout — no real patients.
