Why data governance matters to them
Data governance will support:

decisions and priorities on resource allocation to host and steward data, including reviewing cost and use of IT

Key relationships that these stakeholders need to form and manage
Health system leaders must ensure the quality of the data they collect by working with IT providers to ensure platforms and resources are in place that can manage data efficiently, and must liaise with data partners and senior data stakeholders on how that data can be accessed and used ethically and equitably, and within regulatory compliance constraints.
