For this assignment, you are preparing for a meeting with your boss, the CIO. He appreciates all of the work you have done to date. He is now asking you to compile all of your previous findings into a final data governance and management plan (DMGP). He has also asked you to prepare a one-page executive summary that concisely highlights Independence Medical Center’s background information, identified problems, recommendations, and conclusions.

You realize that as part of your DMGP, you also need to create a data map to illustrate Independence Medical Center’s data sources, collection points, and storage systems. Your data map will serve as the prototype for the ongoing definition of organizational data needs and data integrity requirements.

This assessment consists of these three parts:   

Data map.

Final data management and governance plan (DMGP).

1. Executive summary.
2. As a best practice, please complete these three parts in the order listed above. Note: Typically reviewers read the executive summary before reading the final DMGP. However, typically writers prepare the DMGP first. Once they have prepared the longer plan, they cull information from it to prepare the executive summary. That is why the sequence listed above is the recommended order for you to complete the three parts to this assessment.
3. Part 1: Data Map

Create a data map that depicts enterprise architecture, data integration, and use of multiple data sources.

Be sure that your data map shows how the various systems match to each other and how they exchange patient information.

Use the information from your:

Framework for Data Management and Governance Plan (Week 3 assignment): Data users, Data organization, and Data processes.

Data Discovery Report and Independence Medical Center’s Core Data Set (Week 5 assignment): Data sets and Data elements.

Data Integration Strategy Map (Week 7 assignment): Integration strategies.

You may use any tool (Excel, Word, Visio, PowerPoint, et cetera) you wish to create your data map.

Part 2: Final Data Management and Governance Plan (DMGP)

In your 4–5 page final data management and governance plan, be sure to address all of the following headings and answer all of the questions underneath each heading:

• Data Management and Governance Framework (1/2 page).
• What are the three or four most important takeaways you want the CIO to remember about the:

DMGP structure you are recommending Independence Medical Center adopt?

• Specific ways the DMGP structure will help Independence Medical Center manage and govern data from multiple sources?
• Note: Your Week 3 assignment is the source of this information.
• Data Discovery (1/2 page).
• What are Independence Medical Center’s three or four major data quality and data formatting issues you uncovered?

Which two or three of your recommendations will have the most impact on addressing Independence Medical Center’s data quality and data formatting issues?

Note: Your Week 5 assignment is the source of this information.

Data Integration (1 1/2 pages including your data integration strategy map).

• What are Independence Medical Center’s two to three most significant data quality and integration issues that influence database design and architecture?

What are the most salient points about your integration strategy that you want the CIO to remember?

Note: Your Week 7 assignment is the source of this information. 

• Data Map Narrative (2 pages).

Be sure the narrative accompanying your data map answers these questions:

• What is data warehousing? Why is it important in enterprise architecture?
• What are the advantages or benefits of implementing a data warehouse?
• What is data architecture’s influence on internal and external data-sharing and reporting tasks?

Include your data integration strategy map with your narrative.

• Conclusion (1 to 2 paragraphs).

What are the two or three most critical points you want the CIO to remember about Independence Medical Center’s final DMGP?

Part 3: Executive Summary

• In your 1–2 page executive summary (preferably one page), summarize the most critical issues covered in your final DMGP. In shorthand fashion, break your summary down into three main parts:
• Background information about Independence Medical Center, including how its DMGP can help the hospital achieve its strategic priorities.
• Data quality and integration issues uncovered during this course-long investigation.
