As the Chief Data and Security Officer at (UHG)’s Ingenix division, I engaged EWSolutions to assist and guide us through a transition period of collaboration of our massive data sets and provide insight into a foundational approach to deploying a Data Governance framework. Given the limited time and regulatory requirements required, I was fortunate to have direct access to EWSolutions’ president, David Marco. David showed his commitment and sent his top 3 professionals to assist us. In short order the EWSolutions team blended nicely with my staff and business partners. David and his team, in a professional and effective manner, embraced our challenges and quickly gained the confidence of the UHG business partners as knowledgeable and thought provoking professionals. He ensured all activities and recommendations for our foundational Master Data Management, Data Warehouse and Data Governance strategy were agile yet focused on our immediate and long term needs to ensure sustainability so the ARRA and strict regulatory standards could be met.
EWSolutions embraces the need to ensure compliance and privacy across a wide and diverse range of data needs. From inception of the engagement to completion EWSolutions provided a strong foundation from which to grow and transform our data to meaningful, useful, and collaborative information.

ASG

“The MME (Managed Metadata Environment) is a centrally-located metadata repository that stores and manages the descriptive context of our business processes, definitions, historical information, and other pertinent information resources. MME is used to store and distribute information resource detail and maintain an “inventory” of this information. MME encompasses requirements beyond the scope of Information Governance & Stewardship. It brings together HCSC’s various Information Value Chains in a central location for quick and efficient access to information. The MME is used to bring together these information resources to properly manage meta data throughout our organization.”
“As anyone in healthcare will tell you, one of the biggest immediate specters for us is not healthcare reform, but the mandate to move from the ICD-9 to ICD-10. In order to understand how this change will impact our systems, the MME is used to trace the data element to where it lives in our programs and applications. Previous attempts at impact analysis have entailed manual surveys sent out to application owners. Cross your fingers and hope that the person answering the survey knows the application well.”

Below is an excerpt from a scholarly article in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA), where the Mayo Clinic discusses the six systems and programs (Enterprise Data Trust, Enterprise Information Management Initiative, Data Governance, Enterprise Data Modeling, Enterprise Vocabulary System and Enterprise Managed Metadata Environment) which EWSolutions lead and implemented with the Mayo team.

“Mayo Clinic’s Enterprise Data Trust is a collection of data from patient care, education, research, and administrative transactional systems, organized to support information retrieval, business intelligence, and high-level decision making. Structurally it is a top-down, subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and non-volatile collection of data in support of Mayo Clinic’s analytic and decision making processes. It is an interconnected piece of Mayo Clinic’s Enterprise Information Management initiative, which also includes Data Governance, Enterprise Data Modeling, the Enterprise Vocabulary System, and Metadata Management. These resources enable unprecedented organization of enterprise information about patient, genomic, and research data. While facile access for cohort definition or aggregate retrieval is supported, a high level of security, retrieval audit, and user authentication ensures privacy, confidentiality, and respect for the trust imparted by our patients for the respectful use of information about their conditions… Mayo is already realizing palpable success from our cancer center projects, which is enabling analysis of clinical trial capture and accrual patterns, patient volumes, and clinical trial patient filtering, and will eventually optimize patient options for clinical trials. An infection analytics project has standardized the data definition and capture of infection and infection-related case data across the enterprise. The project has enabled a single standardized, enterprise-based reporting and analysis environment for infection data, and is currently seeking to further automate the identification of healthcare acquired infections. Other deliverables to data include referral analysis, balanced scorecard reporting, quality dashboards, and ad hoc reports across a wide spectrum of clinical practice, research, and administrative requests.”
Quoted from “Jamia”, a scholarly journal of informatics in health and biomedicine.

The Mayo Clinic

“The people at EWSolutions have strong integrity and were sincerely interested in helping us be successful. Unlike the other vendors that were just looking to bill hours, the consultants at EWSolutions were only concerned with our needs. They have a fantastic array of talent in the company and access to exceptional resources to meet all of our project’s requirements. Their consultants were experts in their field and had an excellent command of their subject. Their people have a strong work ethic and they do whatever it takes to make us successful. In addition, EWSolutions monitors their people very well and follows up on their performance, throughout the project engagement. EWSolutions has been a joy to work with and are without peer.”

Senior Manager, Thomson Consumer Electronics

“David Marco is a real visionary in data management. At the same time, he and the consultants at EWSolutions understand the everyday challenge of managing the enterprise’s data responsibly. Most practitioners can do one but not the other. EWSolutions has the skill and savvy to do both, and they do it as well or better than anyone I’ve met.
EWSolutions kept our needs at the forefront of all of their efforts. They always worked in the spirit of partnership and were consistently flexible to the changing needs of our project.”
