What is Data Governance?
• Short answer:“Data Governance is the exercise of decision-making and authority for data-related matters.“
• Longer answer:“Data Governance is a system of decision rights and accountabilities for information-related processes, executed according to agreed-upon models which describe who can take what actions with what information, and when, under what circumstances, using what methods.”

• User generated data should be consequence of patient care rather than a pre-requisite.
• Educate and involve users in the data decision making process so that they understand the importance of the data they are collecting.
• Consider system costs vs coding costs.
