As an HIM Data Quality Analyst, you know that information interoperability enables the movement of electronic health information to where and when it is needed to support individual healthcare needs and population-oriented uses. Select a population-oriented use such as disaster management, bioterrorism surveillance, and community healthcare tracking that would be useful for a large, county hospital system and create a data project plan that justifies data integrity as a key strategic resource and mission tool.

Requirements

Create a data project plan for a large, county hospital system. In your data project plan, justify data integrity as a key strategic resource and mission tool in a 4 to 5 page document. You can accomplish this by: (1) Selecting a population-oriented use for electronic data (examples: disaster management, bioterrorism surveillance, community healthcare tracking); (2) Advocating how information interoperability and information exchange can be efficiently achieved; and (3) Demonstrating how data stewardship can be accomplished using secondary databases and population databases.
