AHIMA: Leading Information

Governance for Healthcare

Organizations across multiple industries recognize the need to value and control their information, and nowhere does this make more sense than in healthcare.Control requires governance. Governance requires the adoption and ingraining of principles, a framework, rules and managed processes.

IG’s Dual Purpose:

Stewardship for

compliance and risk

management

Enhanced ability to

leverage information

to achieve

organization’s goals

AHIMA’s Definition of

Information Governance

An organization-wide

framework for managing

information throughout its

lifecycle and supporting the

organization’s strategy,

operations, regulatory, legal,

risk, and environmental

requirements

©2016

An Information Governance

Framework Addresses:

• Who is accountable for what

• How information strategy aligns with the organization’s goals

• How information is valued for preservation/retention/managing associated costs

• Roles, policies

• Standards (data and information mgt)

• Metrics

IG: Different than IM

• Strategic

• Applies to all types of information, not just clinical

• Breaks down the silos that prevent consistency and

standardization of uses, policies and processes

across the departments and business units of the

organization and even outside of its walls

©2016

IG for Healthcare

• IG is not JUST needed in hospitals….but in all

types of delivery settings, and across the

healthcare ecosystem….. Wherever information is

exchanged, used, administered, analyzed,

released, stored, archived or deleted/destroyed,

it must be governed.

• IG is NOT an IT project… it is not a project at all…

but an ingraining of principles, a framework, rules

and processes for managing and controlling

information across the organization.

Information Governance-

Healthcare

• There must be acceptance that information is a

mission-critical asset to be controlled throughout its

lifecycle.

• Data and information regardless of medium must be

included

• All information must be governed….IG in healthcare

cannot be limited to health information…Data and

information supporting the business of the entire

organization must be governed.
