Client success story
Clinical Data Governance and MDM
Business Value Delivered: Secure and Controlled Clinical Records via MDM and Data Governance
Summary: Clinical Data Governance Delivered To Manage Assets
A multi-site healthcare provider network was challenged by evolving requirements for medical record data exchange and management. The client turned to bPrescient to develop a Healthcare Data Governance Office to properly manage their data assets and manage their expansion to diverse data management platforms in the future.
Challenge: Diverse Data Requirements Introduce Compliance Difficulties
The client was faced with challenges managing and exchanging patient data, and performing associated analytics, because of the diverse regulations at the federal and state levels. Without a formal data governance process, they risked making uninformed decisions and sharing data in a non-compliant manner. In addition, their ability to plan for future expansion was affected since it was difficult to assess impacts across their data landscape.
Solution: Comprehensive Governance Enables Security & Growth
bPrescient outlined foundational capabilities and services of a modern Healthcare Data Governance Office specific to the client’s diverse platform and data landscape (including Informatica, Epic, Workday, Master Data Sources, CRM). bPrescient identified canonical healthcare models that supported interoperability requirements and developed a strategic roadmap that allowed the client to move beyond a cloud-only model and incorporate on-premise capabilities as needed. This roadmap evaluated the organization’s data governance maturity, measured current tool utilization, and identified opportunities to enhance master data management (MDM), reference data, data access, architecture, and operational processes.
Outcome: Governance In Place And Strategic Planning Underway
The client implemented a governance office by executing on bPrescient’s Strategic Roadmap and was able to build more robust exchange processes that complied with regulatory requirements. In addition, the governance processes allowed them to move forward with strategic planning in an informed way and expand their patient support.
