Abstract
This paper reports how reliability can be assured in
qualitative data using text analytics principles. The paper
demonstrates this using a cohort analytics process that used
text mining on data collected from 64 interviews conducted in Queensland Health wards. While the focus of the interviews was on implementing a technology, the text analysis was conducted to assure that the themes were exactly the focus of the exploration. Further, the analytics helped to represent a visual view of the data, to imply the reliability of themes. We conducted the analytics to provide additional reliability than standard saturation normally employed in qualitative data analysis.
