Project Metadata
Project name, owner, business justification, expected go-live date, and authorized contacts for escalation and operational coordination.
A structured form centralizes migration requirements, reduces data mapping errors, and documents consent and approvals required under HIPAA and organizational policy. It improves traceability, simplifies validation, and provides an auditable record of who approved transfers of PHI.
The form is filled by cross-functional teams to ensure technical, clinical, and legal requirements are captured before data movement.
Final signatories usually include an authorized clinical leader, data owner, and a legal or compliance reviewer to confirm PHI handling meets policy.

Test cases, reconciliation criteria, sample record checks, acceptable error thresholds, and sign-off steps for validation completion.
Required authorizers, delegated signing authority, legal or privacy attestation, and any required business associate agreement (BAA) references.
