Study Notes

Data governance involves patient authentication, authorship validation, amendment and records correction, and audit validation.
Data Information Exchange allows electronic exchange of information between providers' electronic systems to support interoperability.
Standards Development Organizations such as Health Level 7, Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine, IEEE, and National Council for Prescription Drug Programs play a role in moving patient data between providers.
Data Strategy defines an organization's data policies, procedures, governance roles, business rules, data redundancy control, master data management, structured and unstructured data use, data storage, and data protection.
Enterprise Information Management involves managing information assets collected during healthcare operations to ensure data quality, patient safety, and usability.
Critical Thinking Skills in data management involve considering legal, ethical, policy, and best practice perspectives to recommend actions.
Clinical Documentation Integrity aims to ensure the quality and integrity of patient data to support coding, reimbursement, patient care, and safety through accurate documentation.
CDI Tools such as audits, queries, and reporting are used to support the goals of Clinical Documentation Integrity programs.
Data Mapping establishes connections between systems by mapping source data (origin) to target data (destination).
Information Governance encompasses managing information throughout its lifecycle to support the organization's strategy, operations, regulatory compliance, legal requirements, risk management, and environmental needs.
AHIMA's Information Governance Principles include accountability, transparency, integrity, protection, compliance, availability, retention, and disposition.
Data Management involves defining data elements, creating, storing, and transmitting data, understanding data production, storage, formats, integrity, and sources within organizations.
Common Data Sources in healthcare include EHRs, practice management systems, lab information systems, PACs, registries, and various databases.
Data Elements are individual facts representing unique subsets of databases like age, gender, blood pressure stored in a data dictionary with defined data sets specific to healthcare industries.
