HealthcareX and ServiceY.

 

There are two companies to choose between: HealthcareX and ServiceY.

HealthcareX has experienced rapid growth in both the size of patients as they transition from a paper-based organization into a digital organization (see US EMR/HIPAA mandate). Unfortunately, the growth in data management policies, procedures, and systems has not kept pace with the growth, and the company finds itself in a position where content management is insufficient to ensure the accuracy and availability of the data (leading to sensitive data not being adequately protected). To resolve this problem, the company executives need to understand content management or data management. The company’s chief executive officer (CEO) and chief information officer (CIO) understand the importance, but don’t know anything about EDM, so you need to evaluate the company’s current major content requirements in the following order: EDM Foundations; EDM Infrastructure Integrations: EDM Infrastructure Updates; EDM Governance Review; and EDM Governance Updates. You must provide scientific evidence to the CEO/CIO for a Board presentation that will result in a $500 Million project – you will be responsible for the delivery of this content to clarify EDM to the CEO/CIO, help convince the Board EDM is a good idea, and provide guidance to the company on EDM structure and compliance.

Key Assignment Overview

Throughout this course, you will work on several aspects of enterprise content management that will result in a complete ECM and Data Governance Guidebook for either HeathcareX or ServiceY. You will not actually be performing the implementation of the system, but you will work extensively with the concepts of good enterprise content management practices through peer-reviewed work to provide a comprehensive foundation of the topic. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for the project. This is the course Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.

Enterprise Content Management and Data Governance Policies and Procedures Manual

This course is comprised of a series of Individual Project assignments that will contribute to a Key Assignment submission at the end of the course. Each week, you will complete a part of an Enterprise Content Management and Data Governance Guidebook. You will select either organization HealthcareX or ServiceY and apply your research to the development of an ECM through the Data Governance Guidebook that would be appropriate for understanding what an implementation would look like within the organization. The goal of this course project is to develop an understanding of EDM implications / impacts to an organization with data challenges across the enterprise at the graduate level.

Organization and Project Selection

For the assignments in this course, you will be developing an Enterprise Content Management and Data Governance Guidebook that defines the policies and procedures for management and governance of data and content within the organization.

Week 1 Tasks:

Your first task in this process will be to select an organization to use as the basis of your research and analysis for each of the assignments in the course. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project delivery (this is the Key Assignment). Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.

New Content (Week 1)
Provide a brief description of the selected organization with a specific focus on the data (content) that will be used as the basis for the projects in the course. Keep it simple so only select 1 or 2 data elements.
Include relevant company information including: primary data source, primary data problem, importance of the data, how the problem relates to industry (do others have this problem), the potential cost (generalized) from the data problem (from industry research source), and a few key elements about uncontrolled data (from scientific research source).
Design an EDM comparison between two frameworks that compare them as solutions. Subdivide the EDM elements/structure/components, importance in their use, and real outcomes from a successful implementation (Internet sources are good). PICK ONE. Contrast how this EDM framework matches the company problem and the outcomes expected from a successful implementation.
Describe which governance frameworks (like HIPAA/HITECH/SOX) have an impact on the company (industry research) and how EDM relates to governance (scientific research).

Select one of the companies to use as a foundation.

Sample Solution

Recommended Company: HealthcareX

Here’s a breakdown outlining why HealthcareX is a better choice for this course and project:

Data Problem & Industry Relevance:

  • Data source: Patient medical records.
  • Data problem: Transitioning from paper to digital records has caused inadequate data management, potentially compromising sensitive patient information (HIPAA compliance issue).
  • Industry problem: This is a common challenge in the healthcare industry as many organizations move towards electronic medical records (EMRs) [1].

Potential Cost of Data Problem:

  • Data breaches in healthcare can be very expensive, costing millions of dollars per incident [2].

Scientific Evidence for Uncontrolled Data Issues:

  • Studies have shown that uncontrolled data can lead to decreased patient safety, increased costs, and regulatory non-compliance [3].

Focus for EDM Comparison:

  • Frameworks to compare: DoD 5015.2 vs. MoReq (Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records)

These frameworks can be compared based on:

  • Elements/Structure/Components: DoD 5015.2 focuses on lifecycle management, while MoReq emphasizes functional requirements.
  • Importance in Use: Both are important for ensuring the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of electronic records.
  • Real Outcomes: Successful implementations of these frameworks have led to improved data quality, increased compliance, and reduced costs [4, 5].

Governance Frameworks & EDM Relationship:

  • Governance framework: HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
  • Impact on HealthcareX: HIPAA requires healthcare organizations to protect the privacy and security of patient data.
  • Relationship to EDM: EDM helps HealthcareX comply with HIPAA by ensuring that patient data is managed in a controlled and auditable manner.

In conclusion, HealthcareX presents a more compelling scenario for this course due to the clear data problem, industry relevance, and strong connection between EDM and regulatory compliance (HIPAA). This makes it easier to demonstrate the value proposition of EDM and its potential impact on the organization.
