Deliverables Include but not limited to:
Over the duration of engagement, the resource will be responsible for the following key deliverables:
Collaborate with Data for Connected Health, Data Standards and Architecture program teams to build on existing integrated data architecture related to the data utility concepts.
Develop a high-level map and inventory to assist in the planning, design, and governance of health information.
Advance the inventory through the definition of the data elements captured in each data type by specific solution. This will include the identification clinical terminology standards and other health data standards being utilized.
Recommend the overarching data governance model to enable the sharing of clinical and operational information in the health data ecosystem.
