Which of the following is a reason Edits software was developed?

Edits software is built to improve data quality by validating and cleansing data as it's entered. It enforces standards, checks for missing or inconsistent values, and flags or corrects errors before data move downstream. By ensuring accuracy, completeness, and logical consistency (for example, valid formats, allowed codes, and sensible date-age relationships), the resulting data are more reliable for patient care, reporting, and research. Reducing storage costs might happen indirectly if bad data are eliminated, but that isn’t the main purpose. It isn’t about increasing the number of data elements, and while it can automate some checks, it isn’t designed to replace human data entry.
