efficient network must be assessed and  
managed.  **Three of the biggest offenders:**

3)  Multiple groups touching the data sets and  
correcting data without a process to update  
the master data.

2)  Multiple claims systems for different lines of  
business where similar datasets are replicated  
but not shared creating different versions of  
the provider data.

## What systems are being used?

new regulated networks
- Corporate initiatives
