This particular data element represents the normalized assessment outcome linked directly to a point of contact. Consider, for example, a situation where a test result is converted to a Z-score or T-score, reflecting performance relative to a reference group. That score is then associated with a means of reaching the individual or organization responsible for the data, such as a ten-digit identifier used for voice communication.
The significance of this connection lies in the efficient and accurate communication of assessment information. Historically, conveying standardized results has involved cumbersome processes. Direct linkage streamlines the process, facilitating quicker feedback loops, improved data validation procedures, and timely intervention strategies where needed. Its benefit extends to situations requiring immediate follow-up based on the evaluation.
