Healthcare organizations, and the industry in general, are learning systems that are constantly evolving and improving based on new information and insight. Data are the building blocks of information and insight. Today’s healthcare reform initiatives, and our increasingly analytics driven requirements, practically require that every health system have a tailored data governance approach to align its data strategy with its organizational structure, culture, mission and strategic plan. In this session, the presenters will introduce key data governance principles, the fundamentals of a data governance program, and offer practical guidance on how to begin and/or advance the conversation about data governance with fellow stakeholders. A data governance program roadmap and maturity model will be addressed as well.
