Assessment 3 Instructions: Data IntegrationCreate a data integration strategy map illustrating a strategic framework, accountability, and quality and control mechanisms. Write a workplace brief (5-7 pages) to accompany the strategy map that provides a data integration strategy for a health care organization.Data integration, sometimes referred to as interoperability, involves combining data from different sources. Data integration allows communication between information systems to occur, and it is foundational to data management. Despite the widespread adoption of advanced technologies, such as the electronic health record, data integration remains a challenge for many health care organizations. The use of data from multiple sources further compounds the challenge. A seamless integration process is the direct result of design, architecture, and high quality data. Data architecture defines the policies, guidelines, standards, and models that support organizational data management. Like data integration, data architecture is a foundational component for any information system. Data architecture defines what information the organization collects, uses, stores, standardizes, and integrates. Problems with data quality arise in health care organizations when data architecture and integration are ineffective. When health information systems do not integrate, the information in those systems cannot be accessed appropriately. This can have real-life consequences in health care; medical errors and adverse health outcomes can result from missing, incomplete, or inaccurate information. Developing a data integration strategy map is a way to organize the plan or approach to data governance. A data integration strategy map is a snapshot, or single-view diagram, that illustrates the organization’s data integration strategy. People within the organization use the data integration strategy map as a reference tool to quickly identify and communicate the data integration plan.In this assessment, you will continue in your role as Independence Medical Center’s Privacy and Security Manager. The Risk Management Director, who works to prevent situations of liability for the medical center, is interested in a tool to support his role in the organization. Specifically, the Risk Management Director anticipates and plans for potential issues related to privacy and security and is responsible for managing privacy- and security-related hospital policies and procedures. He has asked that the two of you work together to develop a data integration strategy map as part of Independence Medical Center’s data management governance plan. Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: Competency 2: Recommend data integration strategy for multiple sources and data governance.Create a data integration strategy map demonstrating a strategic framework, accountability, and quality and control measures.Explain the use of a master patient index (MPI) in patient information integration.Describe how data formatting differences impact data integration with information systems.Competency 4: Analyze effects of database design and architecture in integrating and using various data sources.Assess data quality and integration issues influencing database design and architecture.Recommend an integration strategy for Independence Medical Center based on the elements outlined in the data integration strategy map.Competency 5: Communicate professionally in a health care environment.Create clear, well-organized, professional documents that are generally free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and references.PreparationThis 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 Assessment 2, 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, but 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 in this assessment 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 Center.Vila Health: Data Integration | Transcript.Revisit the work you completed in Assessments 1 and 2. In Assessment 1, you created a DMGP for Independence Medical Center. In Assessment 2 you created a data discovery report relating to data quality issues you discovered from examining Independence Medical Center’s various data sets.InstructionsYour 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, 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 template for the strategy map to help you organize the information. This is also included within the media piece. This assessment consists of two parts. Part 1: Data Integration Strategy MapCreate 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 template provided in the media piece to create your strategy map. Also refer to the work you did in Assessments 1 and 2. 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 BriefOften 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. To support the data integration strategy map you completed in Part 1 of this assessment, write a 5–7 page workplace brief that summarizes your findings and explains how these findings relate to Independence Medical Center’s ultimate goal of developing a DMGP. Your workplace brief needs to address all of the following headings and answer the questions underneath each heading. Statement of the Problem (1 to 2 paragraphs).How would you summarize Independence Medical Center’s data quality and data integration issues you have uncovered to date? Data Management (1 page).How is a master patient index (MPI) used in patient information integration?Quality (1 page).How do data formatting issues impact data integration with information systems?Discovery (1 1/2 to 2 pages).Based on what you learned from completing Assessments 1 and 2 and from the interviews you viewed as part of this assessment, what data quality and data integration issues did you identify that influence database design and architecture?Recommendations (1 1/2 to 2 pages).Based on the strategy map you created, what is the integration strategy you recommend for Independence Medical Center. Conclusion (1 to 2 paragraphs).What are the key takeaways you want the Risk Management Director to remember about Independence Medical Center’s data quality and data integration issues from your strategy map and your workplace brief?Additional RequirementsLength: 5–7 double-spaced pages for the workplace brief, in addition to your data integration strategy map.
