How Automated Lineage Improves Healthcare Data

The following is a guest article by Ernie Ostic, Chief Evangelist at Manta The healthcare industry creates a vast amount of data each year — roughly 30% of worldwide data — the bulk of which must conform with regulatory standards. That data lives in a complex and evolving ecosystem, integrated with multiple applications and infrastructures, creating countless dependencies. Between the volume of data and the web of interconnected systems, those dependencies remain hidden from most users in a “black box” of sorts. Without insight into the inner workings of their own flow of information, most healthcare organizations can’t leverage their data to drive better patient care or more informed business decisions. Data lineage tools address this challenge, highlighting data dependencies and revealing data’s journey through complex systems and transformations. When incorporated effectively, automated data lineage tools shine a light into the black box, enabling greater visibility, and powering predictive insights without compromising the data within. For healthcare organizations, the impact is profound: lineage supports data accuracy, builds data trustworthiness, enables data-driven decisions, and facilitates regulatory compliance.  A Proactive Approach to Data Incidents Data incidents significantly impact healthcare organizations. For the 12th year running, healthcare has surpassed other industries with the highest average data breach cost: $10.1 million. In 2021, breache...
