Bringing Data to Life Through Information Governance

Data and information are being created exponentially, making our ability to create, collect, share, use, and regulate data and information more critical than ever. Data and information are the new currency, and our ability to uncover these hidden assets is crucial to successful evidence-based policy and person-centred health care. Organizations must design themselves into harmonized entities where core functions work together, deliberately and consciously, to generate better overall outcomes. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) created a Health Data and Information Governance Framework to do just that – create a common language and checklist to help organizations more efficiently govern their data assets in a coordinated enterprise-way. A focused example for determining who is required to update or add new data standards into an organization successfully will be shared. The Framework and application will demonstrate tangible ways organizations can design themselves to increase operations’ consistency to work together effectively.
