Topic: Health Data Stewardship Standards in Clinical and Public Health
Sectors
 A data steward is responsible for implementing data usage and security policies as

defined by corporate data governance programs, serving as a liaison between an

organization's Information technology department and the business side. while data

governance typically focuses on policy and procedures at the highest level, data stewardship

focuses on operational planning and execution. A data steward may act as both a data planner

who monitors data movement within an organization as well as a data corrector who

recognizes and enforces internal rules about how data can be used. Irrespective of how the

role is arranged, and competent data steward maintains negotiated descriptions and

arrangements of the data, identifies quality data and ensures business users observes to

defined data ethics. Therefore, data stewards are usually charged with ensuring its

consistency and availability, with responsibility for inventorying corporate data, how to

access it and where it is needed. Yet data steward duties can also include helping to recognize

and expressways in which corporate data can be used to establish sustainable market

advantages[ CITATION Pra17 \l 1033 ].

Data standards are the key component of computing needed for information flow

across the national health information system. Clinical and patient safety systems should

share an integrated information network with universal standards from which data can be

collected and used for various purposes to fulfill the wider scope of monitoring and reporting

needs more effectively. Public data requirements also promote the successful assimilation of

emerging information into decision-making support mechanisms, such as a new drug

contraindication warning, and care process refinements.

We will consider the best examples in the healthcare field of how data collection and

analysis are changing the environment for the better. The use of Big Data in healthcare is

driven by the need to address both local operational challenges, such as minimizing

workloads and growing a healthcare agency 's income, and humanity's global problems, such
as predicting epidemics and more effectively combating emerging diseases Healthcare data

collection helps healthcare facilities to create holistic assessments of patients, tailor

procedures, develop treatment approaches, enhance communication between physicians and

patients, and improve health outcomes. While much of the data required for health care,

patient protection, and progress in quality exists on computers, there is still no way to move

such data from one device to another efficiently and economically, given the availability of

communication technology to enable such data sharing. The key obstacle to get this capacity

was the haphazard application of data standards for the company, image and encoding

ofhealth information so that the recipient systems will recognize and accept the data. At the

healthcare organization level, the lack of universal data standards hindered the exchange of

information between industrial testing laboratories and healthcare facilities, within pharmacy

and healthcare providers on prescriptions and between healthcare organizations and

reimbursements payers.

The clinical research data will be used to educate patients and their health care

providers when they select the right treatment plan and enhance patient care in the future.

Clinical registry information can also be used to assess the health care providers' success with

respect to their outcomes and utilization of resources. Clinical health data can be used to

enhance the safety and quality of the medical care they receive. Clinical data may be used to

evaluate the efficiency of different therapies for the same illness or disorder, determine

alternative approaches to treatment and monitor the safety of implantable devices.

Additionally, health data may be used to promote education, certification and accreditation of

health care. Finally, input from clinical data is widely used to ensure that reimbursement is

changed based on the level of care given, and to ensure that patients have the information

required to make informed decisions about health. Public health data, on the other hand, is

used to measure the effectiveness of a public health initiative aimed at improving and
benefiting people. Public health data is often used to track an initiative 's progress against

goals and objectives. Reliable and up-to-date data are important for tracking progress and

assessing which countries are on track to reach the targets. It can also be used for target

group intervention and necessary data to reach different populations with new interventions.

Also, data is important for identifying which individuals and groups are most in need

of surgery and showing where insecticide-treated malaria nets are most needed for babies.

Data on public health can be used to recognize obstacles to patients and expose an

understanding of patients. In addition, public health data may be used to influence public

policy, and to show a policy's need or possible effect. A joint venture between clinical and

public health records may reduce these differences by using electronic health records ( EHRs)

that provide prompt access to millions of patient information records while reducing manual

data extraction errors. The collaboration will implement technologies that can improve the

health of the community, which carries the tremendous potential to apply knowledge[, from

clinical care to support initiatives in public health. The accelerated implementation of EHR

would facilitate the utility of EHRs in the multimodal exchange of data between medical

practice and public health agencies. The EHRs offer benefits such as instant access to

millions of patient records in a limited time, thus reducing data transmission errors related to

manual retrieval from health records. The benefits of the EHR data make the use of clinical

data readily available for use in public health initiatives[ CITATION Sha11 \l 1033 ].
