Mastering The Item Master – Data Governance In Healthcare5/2/2019
Value-based care places many demands on health systems, most notably the importance of having a data governance strategy.

Vizient research shows that roughly 30 percent of the average item master contains bad data. (Vizient, 2018) As inferred above, the item master can impact multiple areas within a hospital. Areas most affected include purchasing, inventory management, clinical decision support, quality management, surgical supply documentation, value analysis, EMR documentation and third-party reimbursements to name a few, are all effected by the data you populate in the item master.
