<p>Succeeding in a value-based health system has changed requirements for trusted information at all levels. Healthcare has transitioned from a paper to a digital infrastructure over the past decade, but the governance and enterprise management mechanisms have not yet caught up. Current practices remain largely isolated and insufficient for the new digital information environment. The growing volume and sources of electronic data and the complexities of information and communication technologies eclipse the governance capacity of most organizations. Implementing Health Information Governance: Lessons from the Field outlines lessons from healthcare organizations that have already made progress in formalizing information governance. It offers tested practices for aligning governance to the organization s goals, organizing and staffing governance and enterprise management, building on what is working, and guiding incremental improvement. As technological enhancements put a greater emphasis on information as a crucial asset, the need for organizations to ready a comprehensive governance plan increases. By learning from the achievements and challenges of these case study organizations, other entities may chart their course and plan a future-facing governance implementation strategy to improve organizational performance, compliance, and control costs. Key Features include: 14 distinct healthcare organizations are profiled in 26 individual case studies; Case study organizations span multiple healthcare delivery systems at various stages of implementing information governance policies; A model for understanding the functions of information governance and enterprise information management; Practical roadmaps for securing support for information governance and getting started</p>
