A practical view of ownership, stewardship, lineage, policy, quality and appropriate access.

Governance should make data easier to use responsibly

A mature framework is not simply a collection of policies. It creates clear accountability for critical data and makes ownership, definitions, lineage, access and quality visible to the people using it.

Core components

Healthcare organizations typically need ownership and stewardship, business definitions, metadata and lineage, data quality controls, access and policy management, issue resolution and measurable governance outcomes.

Connect governance with quality

Governance identifies who is accountable and what good data means. Quality capabilities measure whether critical information meets those expectations. Keeping the two connected makes remediation more actionable.

Measure whether governance is working

Useful indicators include coverage of critical data elements, ownership completeness, quality issue resolution, lineage coverage, policy exceptions and how quickly teams can find trusted information.
