GRADING RUBRIC MUST BE FOLLOWED

Instructions

For this assessment, you are Independence Medical Center's Privacy and Security Manager. Based on the volume of data coming into the organization, your boss, the CIO, has asked you to review data from throughout the medical center and create a data management and governance plan (DMGP) based on your findings. You will start with a framework for the plan.

This assessment consists of two parts.

Part 1: Recommendation

Write a 3–4 page recommendation to the CIO in which you describe and justify your DMGP framework. When creating your recommendation, remember to keep in mind that you are managing data from multiple sources. The CIO has asked you to include all of the following headings and to answer all of the questions underneath each heading:

• Enterprise Information Management (1/2 page).
  • What is enterprise information management?
  • Why is it important?
• Data Governance (1/2 page).
  • What is data governance?
  • Why is it important?
• Data Governance vs. Data Management (1/2 page).
  • What is the difference between data governance and data management?
• Framework for DMGP (1 1/2 to 2 pages).
  • How does a DMGP help an organization manage and govern data from multiple sources?
  • What DMGP structure do you recommend Independence Medical Center adopt?
  • How, specifically, will your DMGP help Independence Medical Center manage and govern data from multiple sources?
• Conclusion (1 to 2 paragraphs).
  • What are the two or three major findings you want the CIO to remember from your recommendation?

Note: Remember that health care is an evidence-based field. Be sure to support the points you make in your recommendation with multiple references to current, scholarly, and/or authoritative sources.

Part 2: Diagram

Create a diagram that visually represents your DMGP framework. Specify within your diagram all of the following:

• Data users: Consider types of users and stakeholders.
• Data organization: Include the types of data, the sources of that data, and the systems that provide the data.
• Data processes: Detail the processes, practices, and rules and reporting that you would recommend Independence Medical Center adopt to better govern and manage its data.

Notes:

• Be sure that the information in your diagram is also addressed in your recommendation from Part 1.
• Use any software with which you feel comfortable to create your diagram. Examples include Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Visio, et cetera.
