Data Strategy and Governance Programme for a Precision Diagnostics Network
Let's Connect
Problem
Clinical and molecular silos
A precision-diagnostics network of 14 labs and clinics held clinical records in per-site systems and molecular results in instrument-level silos, with no common patient identifier between them. Internal research requests took weeks of manual assembly, field definitions differed between sites, and compliance concerns meant most cross-site data sharing was simply refused rather than governed.
Solution
Unified governance and access model
We delivered a data strategy and governance programme: a network-wide clinical-molecular data dictionary, a master patient index approach for record matching, tiered access controls with standardised de-identification rules, and a stewardship council with named owners per domain. A phased consolidation roadmap then moved sites onto the shared model, with automated quality checks gating each migration.
Measurable Impact
What changed after launch
14 labs and clinics aligned on a single clinical-molecular data dictionary covering 300+ fields
Average turnaround on internal research data requests cut from 3 weeks to 4 days
92% of legacy records matched to the master patient index in the first consolidation phase
Zero data-sharing findings in the network's first compliance audit after the programme
