Financial Impact of Redundant Data

Independence Medical Center, a Vila Health hospital, is trying to improve data management, which would require new departmental procedures to better align data collected in redundancy. You have been asked to address the staff regarding the cost of redundant data and the efficiencies that can be gained by managing redundant data more effectively. Discuss factors you would present in the speech, including the fiscal impact of storing and maintaining redundant data.

Response Guidelines

Read the posts of other learners and respond to at least one. In your response, assume the role of an employee who disagrees with one of the points about the cost of data redundancy made in the speech. In this role, question the writer of the original post about a factor that you do not believe contributes to the cost of maintaining data in redundancy. Explain the reasons for your differences. As the discussion continues, maintain your roles as Independence Medical Center data manager and employee.
