Building a governed data marketplace for clinical research and operations

Challenge

A leading academic medical center needed to modernize its data governance and catalog capabilities to support clinical research and operational analytics at the standard the institution demanded. The existing on-premise catalog lacked the features, integration, and scalability the work required.

Domains and glossaries were misaligned with Epic data models, data quality visibility was limited, and governance adoption across business and IT users had stalled, making it difficult to find, trust, or use data as an institutional asset.

The institution wanted a modern, governed environment that would unify data across clinical and operational platforms, simplify access for the people doing the work, and give the organization the visibility and control its research and compliance posture required.

Solution

OneSix launched a comprehensive data governance program built to deliver transparent, enterprise-wide visibility into data assets across Epic, SAP ERP, MedHub, Press Ganey, and other core clinical and operational platforms. The implementation paired an Informatica-based catalog and governance solution with a Microsoft Azure foundation, replacing the legacy on-premise stack with a unified cloud governance platform.

At the center of the program is a single, governed data marketplace where users across clinical, research, and IT teams can confidently find, understand, and request trusted data. Standardized definitions, streamlined data request workflows, and improved data quality visibility removed the friction that had previously slowed access and undermined trust in the data.

Enablement was treated as part of the platform rather than a follow-on. A streamlined user experience and structured rollout drove adoption across business and IT, turning governance from a compliance overhead into a shared institutional capability and improving the efficiency of clinical research and operational analytics work across the organization.
