I AM ATTACHING MY ASSIGNMENTS FOR WEEK 3 AND WEEK 5
Preparation
This assignment requires you to create a workplace brief and data integration strategy map that identifies Independence Medical Center’s data quality issues and recommends strategies to remedy those issues. In your Week 5 assignment, you examined Independence Medical Center’s core written data sets and identified data quality issues and recommended strategies to address those issues.
In this assessment, you are carrying your work one step further. Here you will not just be relying on written data sets; you will have the opportunity to interview users to learn more about the data quality issues that are surfacing at the medical center. The whole point of this assignment is to gather information from written data and interviews with users to create a master list of data issues and then to recommend strategies for addressing those issues in total.
To prepare for this assessment, do the following:
View the following media piece. From it you will learn about the perspectives of various Independence Medical Center’s data users on data quality issues occurring within the hospital.
Vila Health: Data Integration.
Revisit the work you completed in Weeks 3 and 5. In Week 3, you created a DMGP for Independence Medical Center. In Week 5, you created a data discovery report relating to data quality issues you discovered from examining Independence Medical Center’s various data sets.
Instructions
Your work on creating a new DMPG for Independence Medical Center continues. So far you have created a framework for a DMPG and have examined Independence Medical Center’s various data sets for data quality issues.
You next step is to formulate a strategy to resolve and support data quality issues. The risk management director has asked you to work with him to develop, as part of the DMGP, a data integration strategy map and a workplace brief with recommendations to resolve data quality issues. The data integration strategy map is an overview. It is a visual representation of the data integration strategy plan. The workplace brief expands on and explains the information contained in the data integration strategy map.
The risk management director has scheduled interviews with various data users at Independence Medical Center, so you can continue to collect information for your DMGP. These are included in the Vila Health: Data Integration media piece. He has provided a div for the strategy map to help you organize the information. This is also included within the media piece.
This assignment consists of two parts.
Part 1: Data Integration Strategy Map
Create a data integration strategy map for Independence Medical Center that illustrates a strategic framework, accountability, and quality and control mechanisms.
Use the information you gleaned from the interviews conducted in the Vila Health: Data Integration media piece and the div provided in the media piece to create your strategy map.
Also refer to the work you did in the Week 3 and Week 5 assignments.
Be sure to complete all nine cells in the strategy map; you will need to select only the most critical information to include.
Part 2: Workplace Brief
Often in health care organizations, data management issues, such as data quality, serve as the catalyst for organizations to develop a data governance and management plan. These issues also can drive strategies to implement the plan.
