Data from external (uncontrolled) sources can be problematic because (1) their logical data architecture can be different, and (2) they can morph their architecture, scope, or definitions of the data which you receive without telling you. Hence, the need for a rigorous declaration of expectations in the agreement to establish that data flow and business relationship.</p> <p>This presentation will focus upon data import, and semantic data integration.</p> <p>Mr. Scofield has spoken on these topics for over 14 years, and will use numerous (painful) examples.</p> <h2> About the Presenter </h2> <p>Michael Scofield is an Assistant Professor in Health Information Management at Loma Linda University in the Department of Health Information Management.
