Assess governance and policy
Governance and policy are important parts of the data and systems environment and should be implemented at the beginning of the data modernization planning to avoid major investments that diverge from the evolving strategy. Governance is a broad category of processes and principles. Health departments should consider both data governance—how to protect, secure, and accurately gather each piece of data—and information governance—the process and systems needed to use the data to make decisions about public health practice. Policy includes federal, state, local and organizational guidelines related to data, information technology, privacy and security.
Success implementing data modernization projects will require health departments to work within the governance and policy constraints of the jurisdiction. Notably, data modernization can include implementing policy.
