Director, Data Governance (Enterprise Clinical Data Strategy & Governance) - REMOTE

Job Description

Job Summary:

Develop and oversee enterprise clinical data management strategy and governance activities to optimize payer-provider clinical digital data exchanges for completeness, accuracy, and regulatory compliance while maximizing efficiency and value to Molina Healthcare and our providers. Lead enterprise discovery to inventory Use Cases for bi-directional clinical data exchange and digital transactions across the enterprise. Develop a strategy and a prioritized roadmap for enhanced data capabilities that increase efficiency through technology, create enterprise value, and elevate Molina as a preferred payer partner to providers. This role is also responsible for establishing data policies, standards, and report on key metrics. This leader will collaborate with leadership to align business priorities, budget, and technology innovation related to clinical data management.

Purpose:

This initiative establishes an enterprise-level strategy and governance model to address fragmented payer-to-provider clinical digital data exchanges that no single Molina function can solve independently. Independent decisions to deploy new capabilities and scale across COE, Quality, Risk, Clinical, UM, Payments/PI, and related teams have resulted in redundant data sources, duplicative provider interactions, avoidable cost, and inconsistent and/or abrasive provider experience. Today, there is no single enterprise forum where a holistic strategy is defined and where data capability roadmap and trade-off decisions are made. As we further expand CDE sources and technologies, such as the Epic Payor Platform, as well as rapidly evolve to digital regulatory mandates, these inefficiencies and issues will only increase without rationalization, on ongoing “living” strategy, and a forum to make enterprise investment decisions.

The objectives and outcomes of the CDE Strategy Group will be three-fold

1. Enterprise Discovery
   1. Inventory major use cases for bi-directional clinical data and digital transactions across the enterprise - push, pull, chase – to create or amplify value.
   2. Document industry best practices and trends (including AI), regulatory requirements for digital data and electronic transactions, and provider abrasion factors.
   3. Evaluate the completeness, accuracy, acquisition efficiency, and cost of each data source.
2. Strategy – Develop a strategy and a prioritized roadmap for improvement across data capabilities and functions with associated business cases, which also elevates Molina as a preferred payer partner to providers. Roadmap should address the impact of digital advances on the composition of various staffing, departments, partners in a multi-year roadmap.
3. Governance – Establish a governance process for collaborating across the enterprise (business and IT), and for adding new data sources, technologies, and partners.
