CAN/DGSI 100-5:202X , Data Governance: Part 5 - Health data and information capability framework

This standard specifies the minimum requirements for organizations to define the depth, diversity, and complexity of capabilities, including criteria to assess the degree to which the capability is mature and consistently applied across an organization’s data assets and processes.

The framework also aims to help networks of organizations (e.g., multiple agencies within a jurisdiction) understand the alignment required within the network for a given Health Data and Information (HDI) capability through:

• Identifying the need for and extent of alignment required of their HDI principles, practices and content where it is practical and beneficial toward achieving common aims; and

• A common language for multi-organizational collaboration as a basis for exchange of leading practices and lessons learned in a meaningful and constructive way that fosters improvement and alignment.

The framework is not intended to prescribe how these capabilities and related processes should be implemented. Individual organizations will need to design or refine their own policies, processes and practices given their scope, mandate, priorities and legislative authorities.
