This is the mission in practice. Where Who We Are sets out the principle, govern the data well and both the policy and the people it serves benefit, these seven areas of practice are how it gets done, each scoped to the state of a client's data environment rather than to a template.
Advisory support for electronic medical record (EMR) and laboratory information system (LIS) implementation and strengthening, particularly in resource-constrained public health settings. Includes systems assessment, workflow design, and technical advisory support for public hospitals and health system partners.
Design and operation of governed, regulated data-sharing programs: data release policy and regulation drafting, advisory committee design and management, data-use agreements, IRB-aligned research request review, and enterprise data inventory and integration planning across multi-source clinical and claims data.
Advisory work aligning national and institutional health data systems with international interoperability standards, including the African Union's 2023 Data Standardization and Interoperability Guidelines. Includes curriculum collaboration with universities on digital health and interoperability, and technical advisory on national health data exchange strategy.
Guidance for health systems and agencies introducing AI into clinical, operational, or policy workflows, covering responsible AI governance frameworks, ethical use policy, and practical implementation planning grounded in real health data environments rather than generic AI strategy.
Support for RHTP work plan development and operational monitoring, rural health transformation planning, GME and rural workforce strategy, and stakeholder-engaged policy studies for a U.S. state's Rural Health Transformation Program and CMS AHEAD Model workplans.
Design and oversight of consumer-facing health care price transparency initiatives, telehealth utilization analytics, and public reporting programs that translate claims and clinical data into decision-ready insight for policymakers and the public.
Requirements development with program and policy stakeholders, data preparation and record linkage across administrative sources, and production dashboards in Tableau and Power BI, built so the measures are documented and the refresh is owned in-house.
Systems, sources, and existing governance documented as they actually are, structured against maturity-framework domains rather than an ad hoc checklist.
Legislative and compliance limits, infrastructure gaps, and workforce capacity stated plainly before options are drawn.
Policy, committees, data-sharing agreements, and interoperability standards scoped to the institution's actual authority.
Documentation, training, and a re-assessment cadence so progress continues after the engagement ends.
