Governance & Oversight
Data Governance at Cleveland Clinic
Cleveland Clinic is a data-driven organization — we value information as an enterprise asset. Healthcare reform, value-based reimbursement and changing expectations create a need to provide both data quality and transparency. With the healthcare environment constantly changing, we have created specific principles to provide mature and nimble Data Governance.
