Health and clinical data strategy

Enhancing and improving clinical outcomes while ensuring patient safety and privacy through sound data governance and strategic roadmap development

Key obstacles organisations are facing when monetising their data

Ensuring the securing of patient safety and privacy while advancing clinical innovation

Health organisations are starting to understand the importance of ensuring sound clinical data governance. It is vital for success and more importantly, for ensuring that patient safety and privacy are never compromised.

It allows the integration and analysis of healthcare data for diagnostic and treatment purposes, the evaluation of new medicines that may lead to new discoveries, and many others that have a positive clinical impact.

We leverage our step-by-step data governance methodology to help organisations identify specific use cases of true value, categorise the data they have, build a detailed data strategy roadmap, develop, prioritise and implement initiatives to reach their target state, value, and ultimately share and monetise it.

Data maturity curve

Depending on which data maturity stage an organisation is at, our team of experts will work towards creating a suitable strategy that would best benefit your organisation while incorporating the following components of a successful health data strategy:

We will help you to establish a data glossary and catalogue with a consistently defined format for all data points, allowing easy reference to location and definition of data points, and to understand and identify the scope of their existing data asset pool.

Involves understanding the potential use cases for data to improve internal operations and/or to support external stakeholders, allowing you to understand how your data pool can create value internally and externally, and gives you a view of the size of these opportunities.

Involves managing the storage space and requirements for each system in a way that allows easy but secure access and sharing across systems.

Involves packaging data consistently across systems and providing access guidelines for shared data to enable effective usage across systems.

Both the storage and provision components will allow captured healthcare data to be efficiently and easily stored, but securely accessed across systems.

Involves processing raw packaged data to a ‘ready to use’ format for analytics or external sharing with third parties, enabling the usage of advanced analytics tools on health data, and creating the opportunity for data monetisation.

Refers to the exercise of authority and control over how data assets are managed, used and shared both internally as well as externally.
