Information Lifecycle Management

Meaning

Information Lifecycle Management is the systematic, policy-driven approach to governing the flow of all personal health information, including sensitive hormonal profiles and physiological measurements, from its initial creation or capture through its active use, archiving, and ultimate secure destruction. This comprehensive framework ensures that data is handled with appropriate security, integrity, and accessibility at every stage of its existence, aligning its management with both clinical necessity and regulatory mandates. Proper management is essential to mitigate the cumulative risk associated with prolonged storage of sensitive longitudinal health data.
