Big data computing poses challenges to the privacy and security of patient information. In fact, the rapid growth in the volume of health-related information increases the risk of privacy violations particularly when data sets are combined. Explain the role of data and information governance in making organizational improvements and higher quality decision-making.

In two different paragraph  give your personal opinion to  Leeann Forsythe and  Tyler Blevins

Data governance is the practice of managing data assets throughout their lifecycle to ensure that they meet organizational quality and integrity standards.  Data governance is geared towards making sure that users can trust their data, which is especially important when making patient care decisions.

AHIMA defines information governance as “an organization-wide framework for managing information throughout its lifecycle, and for supporting the organization’s strategy, operations, regulatory, legal, risk, and environmental requirements.” 

With these two terms you can see why it is so important to ensure this is protected, up-to-date, and managed correctly. When you look at something like this you have to put yourself in the patient’s shoes. If I were the patient I would want to ensure that my information is well protected at all times, not only for my privacy, but also for peace of mind. Ensuring that data and information is governed properly only leads to a bigger and better organization as a whole. 

A strong governance program not only makes clinical care easier and more reliable, but will allow organizations to prepare for future analytics projects in an increasingly complex environment, said Deborah Green, MBA, RHIA, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of AHIMA.

“Sometimes we feel like we’re drowning in data, but the challenge isn’t just the volume.  It’s the integrity and the quality of that data,” she stated at the organization’s 2015 convention.

“We need information governance to enable trust. What will that buy us?  Each organization will be able to trust their data for key decision making and be confident enough to leverage that information to promote themselves.”

Data, information, and technology are ever growing. Being prepared and mindful of this is key to a successful organization. Adapt to the changes, overcome the obstacles, and stay up-to-date with the way the healthcare field is evolving.

     The healthcare industry relies heavily on data collection. Some of the data collected is patient demographics, health histories, medication records, surgical records, treatment records, insurance, billing ,and payment information. Before electronic health records (EHR) information sharing was difficult.  With the implementation of EHRs, data collection, analysis, and improved health care delivery is possible. Many organizations struggle with making data governance a priority and therefore have not completely realized the  many benefits of EHRs. Data governance in healthcare is developed and managed by health information management professionals. It is the process of managing data assets throughout their lifecycle to ensure they meet organizational quality and integrity standards. In addition, it is regulated to ensure that users can trust their data which is important when making patient care decisions. The overall goal of data governance is to improve staff efficiently, create an environment of accountability, and create standardized data sets that can be used for organizational improvements and improved clinical decision making (HealthITSecurity, 2019).

Dr. Smith has a full morning of minor office surgeries scheduled for today. Sarah, his nurse, has set up the room and prepared the patient. Prior to starting, Dr. Smith requests anesthetic without epinephrine due to the location of the surgical site. Searching the drawers and supply closet, Sarah reports, “We don’t have any.”

Fortunately, Sarah was able to borrow a vial from the physician in an adjacent office suite. Investigation by the office manager reveals that the supply was not reordered when the previous stock was disposed of due to its expiration date. This disruption in supply chain management resulted in an inefficient use of physician time and an uncomfortable situation in the presence of a patient.

Create a 2-page executive summary explaining to your staff the significant of stocking, placing timely orders, and provide a step by step method on what to do in order to avoid this type of situation in Dr. Smith’s office.

  The focus of public health has always been to promote and protect the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work, and play. Within this environment, the social determinants of health are evidence of the conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affects a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks (CDC, n.d.).  During this course we have discussed several initiatives that have been implemented to improve specific SDOH, however, in view of the present pandemic, this discussion will focus on SDOH and health disparity.

 choose one of the social determinants of health (SDOH) that influences the health disparities; explain why you feel this determinant impacts the health of the person and the community. Note that supporting evidence must be provided.  In collecting your supporting evidence, please note the nurses’ role in developing strategies to improve the health of the person/community during this pandemic and in the future.

Info Tool I (Google Forms)

Background: Your company is looking for a market area for a new product/location. Your assignment is to develop, disseminate, and collect data for a survey on a topic of your choice (related to a new market area for a new product/location). Think of it as a real life scenario, and assess your data to determine what the data tells you about your company’s new product/location.

Requirements: You are required to use Google Docs Form application, ask pertinent questions for your selected topic, and obtain at least 20 survey responses.

Also, you will prepare a professional looking, written report that discusses:

• The goals of your survey
• Detailed analysis of your survey responses
• How this information can be useful for your company (based on your responses, reason 1, reason 2, reason n why X new product/location would be/or not a good idea).

When submitting your paper, you are also required to include the actual responses from the Form’s generator (graphic/spreadsheet). You can include that at the end of your report (but not instead of it), or you can attach it as a separate document. 

There is no specific number of pages for this assignment. It has to have enough pages to prove your point and to cover all the requirements.

You will post both the copy of your report and the responses from the Form’s generator on Blackboard, under “Info Tool I (Google Forms)” link.
