Assessment 3 Instructions: Data IntegrationCreate a data integration strategy map illustrating a strategic framework, accountability, and quality and control mechanisms. Write a workplace brief (5-7 pages) to accompany the strategy map that provides a data integration strategy for a health care organization.Data integration, sometimes referred to as interoperability, involves combining data from different sources. Data integration allows communication between information systems to occur, and it is foundational to data management. Despite the widespread adoption of advanced technologies, such as the electronic health record, data integration remains a challenge for many health care organizations. The use of data from multiple sources further compounds the challenge. A seamless integration process is the direct result of design, architecture, and high quality data. Data architecture defines the policies, guidelines, standards, and models that support organizational data management. Like data integration, data architecture is a foundational component for any information system. Data architecture defines what information the organization collects, uses, stores, standardizes, and integrates. Problems with data quality arise in health care organizations when data architecture and integration are ineffective. When health information systems do not integrate, the information in those systems cannot be accessed appropriately. This can have real-life consequences in health care; medical errors and adverse health outcomes can result from missing, incomplete, or inaccurate information. Developing a data integration strategy map is a way to organize the plan or approach to data governance. A data integration strategy map is a snapshot, or single-view diagram, that illustrates the organization's data integration strategy. People within the organization use the data integration strategy map as a reference tool to quickly identify and communicate the data integration plan.In this assessment, you will continue in your role as Independence Medical Center's Privacy and Security Manager. The Risk Management Director, who works to prevent situations of liability for the medical center, is interested in a tool to support his role in the organization. Specifically, the Risk Management Director anticipates and plans for potential issues related to privacy and security and is responsible for managing privacy- and security-related hospital policies and procedures.

For this assessment, you will evaluate the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1 using best practices found in the literature. Introduction NOTE: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed. Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life. This assessment provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.
