MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT

Master Data Management (MDM) is the ability to create a single version of the truth for key information assets, and to synchronize that view across an enterprise.  IMS Health offers a suite of MDM capabilities—including advisory ­services, strategy development, and technology solutions for augmenting internal capabilities and providing full-scale outsourcing.

As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, managing data is becoming increasingly more critical. Stakeholders including, sales, marketing, compliance, operations and IT have an increased interest in getting it done right. IMS Health has a long history of assisting clients with ­specific MDM solutions in areas of strategy, governance, data ­harmonization, data stewardship and enrichment services.

Clients benefit from the depth of our knowledge and ­experience in:
• Strategy development and implementation
• Data governance and stewardship
• Information systems architecture
• Business intelligence and analytics
• Information lifecycle management
• Information quality management and enrichment
• Data harmonization

We are uniquely qualified and work with many of the ­leading pharmaceutical and medical device organizations to integrate and manage massive sets of healthcare ­reference data—applying our expertise in multiple internal and ­external technologies, methodologies and best ­practices to advance strong data protection and compliance.

THE BENEFITS

A successful Master Data Management program:
• Provides a foundation for new commercial models
• Supplies a single source of clean data to your ­enterprise
