Unit 7 – Health Care Data: Strategies, Services Alignment & Data
Governance (56 Points)
WEEKLY INTRODUCTION
Data governance is expected to ensure that the data collected, stored and used by various healthcare
stakeholders is used ethically and lawfully. For consumers, it is important to consider if the challenges
of data literacy play a role in the understanding of data governance.

Discovery Questions
DQ2 – Determine and justify if consumers should continue to have a role in data governance to
address shared-decision making based on the known challenges of data literacy. (WO2,3)
Discussion will include the following 4 components:
– Add new information or viewpoints
– Provide context by example, inference, explanation, or comparison
– Critically evaluate discussion content
– Challenge, question, or refute discussion content or accepted knowledge
Unit 7: Learning Content – Improving Data Data Governance
LEARNING CONTENT – Data
Governance Explained
Based on the topics covered in this course it is important to consider what may make data
governance better. The role of health care professionals and consumers should be considered. It is
important to consider if all stakeholders have the same role in maintaining data governance. The
video below provides a brief explaination of Data Governance using various industries as they may be
applied to healthcare.

Unit 7: Summary
WEEKLY WRAP-UP
The course began discussing Health Information Sysems as the tool for data collection, storage and
retrieval. Another role is to convert data to information and knowledge. In other units we addressed
the importance of data literacy, quality and security of data. In Unit 5 all students had the hands on
simulation with an I2B2 database and given the opportunity to present individuals conversion of data
into information and knowledge. Each of you has shown that there is not one way in which the task
can be done. In the final unit we took a closer look at governance and data management which is
dependent on data literacy, data quality and security.
Through the completion of this course you have gained knowledge and skills in key area of Health
Informatics presented as the American Medical Informatics (AMIA) domains in the field of Health
Informatics. The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) provides information about the
knowledge and skills required by a Health Informatics Professional.
The AMIA domains covered in this course include the following:
• F2 Information Science and Technology
F2: Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of information science concepts; methods and tools to
locate, interpret, synthesize and integrate information; and how these methods and tools influence the
evolution of health care data into knowledge.
• F4 Health Information Science and Technology
F4 #1: Demonstrate the appropriate application of healthcare information technology and systems
thinking; methods and tools and standards to analyze, design, develop and implement solutions to
address specific healthcare systems challenges. (how to move data around etc design a solution)
F4#2: Demonstrate the appropriate application of methods, tools, and computational thinking to
collect, organize, visualize, integrate data and to design and develop systems that address
stakeholders needs and environment context. (now that you have a solution, turning the information
to knowledge)
• F6 Social, Behavioral Aspects of Health
F6# 2 Demonstrate the ability to consider role of social determinants, patient generated data and
informed decision-making to improve health outcomes.
• F10. Leadership
F10 #2: Demonstrate behaviors and effective communication to motivate, direct and guide
stakeholders, building collaborations throughout the organization and bringing resources to projects,
programs, and people to accomplish a health informatics vision.
