Data Governance Overview
6
ELC/EC Governance vs.Data Governance
ELC /EC Governance• Oversees entire scope of
effort - overarching goals and how they will be achieved
• Determines focus/priorities of data use
• Involves leadership and program area staff from participating agencies and programs
Data Governance• Oversees how information
assets can be used to help achieve the ELC goals
• Takes strategic direction from broader ELC governance
• Involves leadership, program area staff, and IT staff from participating agencies and programs
7
What is EC Data Governance?
Data governance is both an organizational process and a structure.
It establishes responsibility for data, organizing program area staff to collaboratively and continuously improve data quality through the systematic creation and enforcement of policies, roles, responsibilities, and procedures.
DG can be structured to support one sector (e.g., EC) or span across sectors (e.g., P-20W) – but there are key differences between the two.
8
Central Principles for ECData Governance• Interagency/program approach to managing information,
from collection through use• All programs and/or agencies contributing data to the
effort are represented• Program area ownership of information –
it’s NOT an IT initiative• Clear, distinct roles for and relationships among program
areas, IT, and leadership• Common definitions and business rules across programs
and/or agencies• Inter-agency/program data governance coordinator
9
Intended Outcomes and Benefits
• A common vision for EC data use; defined key policy and program questions aligned with that vision
• Improved understanding of EC data collected, reported, and used by participating agencies and programs
• Better coordination among state agencies and programs administering early childhood services
• Improved communication, collaboration, and relationships between EC program/agency staff and IT
• Increased consistency and reduced redundancy of data collected across agencies and programs
• More effective data use in support of policy and program goals

Purpose• Codifies leadership’s
o Acknowledgement that data are a critical resource, and o Commitment that the data will be managed and used as such in support
of the EC agencies’ and programs’ missions• Provides strategic direction by creating a framework for decision making
about and accountability for how data will be managed across EC• Assigns stewardship responsibilities for participating agencies’ data
included in the EC effort• Empowers the data management committee to establish more detailed
interagency standards and processes

Establishing EC DG Groups
Questions Each Group Should Answer and Document: What is the mission of this group? What are the goals and objectives of this group? What is the membership of this group? What are the expectations of the member? What is the decision making process for this group? What is the role of this group relative to the other data
governance groups?
24
Flow of decision making among DG Groups
ECIDS generates analyses in response to key questions
Program and agency leadership use analyses to inform decision making
As a group discuss the following questions:
25
Table Talk- Discussion Questions
Discuss initial concerns and opportunities of ECIDS data governance.
What critical agency topics (e.g. HIPAA, capacity, agency regulations) do we need to consider while creating a sustainable Data Governance structure?
26
Purpose• Details the structure, roles, responsibilities, membership, and
processes that will be established and to which participants will be held accountable
• Operationalizes the Early Childhood Data Governance Policy
Contents • Data governance model• For each data governance group, details:
• Mission• Goals and objectives• Scope and responsibility• Membership• Decision making process
• Appendixes with data governance processes

Data Management Committee• Define and recommend data elements
to be included.• Coordinate the submission of data.• Ensure data quality and accuracy.• Promote the use of data to make
informed data policy decisions.• Each participant shall appoint up to two
representatives who have technical expertise in the early childhood data collected by their respective entity.
• Each participant shall have one unweighted vote, regardless of the number of representatives appointed by the participant.
Data Research Committee• Review for approval all research requests for
unidentifiable data.• Develop pre-approved methods for data retrieval.• Develop a process for timely review and approval of
research data requests.• Develop standard data reports intended for public
distribution.• Each participant may appoint two persons who have
knowledge and expertise regarding the use of data from their entity for research purposes to sit on the Research Committee.
• Each participant shall have one unweighted vote, regardless of the number of representatives appointed by the participant.
• Each participant may veto the use of data submitted by it for use in any proposed research by following the procedures established by the Data Policy Committee.
• UDOH shall appoint up to two non-voting professional researchers who are not affiliated with UDOH or any participant and who are agreeable to the Research Committee to sit on the Research Committee.
Data Policy Committee• Establish policies and procedures consistent with FERPA and other
applicable federal and state privacy laws.• Protect PII from unauthorized disclosure or use.• Develop policies for data collection, management, and distribution.• Develop standards and practices to govern.• Develop breach response plans as may be required by federal or state
law.• Develop discipline policies for inappropriate use or publication of PII.• Review for final approval recommendations of the Data Management
Committee.• Review for final approval and release of standard data reports
intended for public use developed by the Data Research Committee;• Develop conflict resolution procedures to resolve conflicts between
