Health Data Governance-Initiative
What is Health Data Governance?
Governance is an approach to manage availability, quality, integrity, and security of health-related data. The purpose of health information governance is to develop and implement policies, common processes, standards, and procedures to improve the accuracy and interoperability of health information.
Currently in Colorado, many different organizations and systems store health information. Many of these organizations share information, but there are many that cannot effectively and efficiently share health-related data outside their own organization. This lack of data standards and interoperability causes challenges such as:
Lack of trust in the data
Overlap of requests for data
Incomplete information
Lack of integration of clinical and claims data
Difficulty sharing health information
The goal of the Health Data Governance Initiative is to Develop and implement policies, common processes, standards, and procedures to improve the accuracy and interoperability of health information and to form a community-centered health information governance model that aligns with nationwide standards. This initiative will result in high-quality, trusted data that can be readily and appropriately accessed and shared. This initiative includes leading the CoSHIE Data Governance Committee (DGC).
