Data Governance Healthcare

Meaning

Data Governance in Healthcare is the overarching framework of policies, standards, and organizational structures established to ensure the secure, accurate, and ethical management of all health-related information, including sensitive hormonal and biometric data. This discipline ensures the integrity, availability, and compliance of clinical data with stringent regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA, which is essential for maintaining patient trust and the clinical validity of data-informed care. Effective governance is the foundation upon which precision health strategies are safely built.
