Data Management Module (IBR)

Associated Requirements:

Description:

The Data Management Module is a core component of the IBR, designed to maintain comprehensive records of beneficiaries across multiple social protection programs. Its primary purpose is to ensure efficient and effective management of beneficiary data, enabling coordinated service delivery and program administration.

Key components include:

1. Benefit History Tracker: Maintains records of benefits received across programs.

2. Data Matching Engine: Performs advanced data matching, validation, and deduplication.

3. Data Consolidation Engine: Manages the consolidation and representation of beneficiary data.

Sub-components:

• Comprehensive Benefit Record (IBR-009, Core): Maintains a consolidated record of all benefits received by an individual across programs.

• Data Quality Standards (IBR-015, Optional): Implements a data quality validation service that can be invoked by external systems for ensuring data standards.

• Duplicate Prevention System (IBR-016, Core): Uses the Identity Verification Service to prevent duplicate beneficiary records.

• Eligibility History Tracker (IBR-017, Optional): Maintains a historical record of eligibility assessments for each beneficiary.

• Identity Data Manager (IBR-018, Optional): Stores and manages verified identity data for each beneficiary.

• Payment Status Tracker (IBR-019, Optional): Receives and stores payment status updates from the Secure Payment Data Exchange.

• Unified Beneficiary Data Model (IBR-020, Core): Implements or integrates with a Unified Beneficiary Data Model to represent beneficiaries across all social protection programs.

User Journey:

1. Users: Program administrators, case managers, data quality analysts

2. Process: Beneficiary data management, benefit tracking, data validation

3. Business Process:

   1. User logs into the IBR system

   2. Navigates to the Data Management Module

   3. Accesses relevant sub-component (e.g., Benefit History Tracker, Data Matching Engine)

   4. Performs required data management tasks (e.g., viewing benefit history, running deduplication checks)

   5. Updates or validates beneficiary information as needed

   6. Generates reports on data quality or beneficiary status

   7. Uses insights to improve data management processes and overall data quality

Links to other modules:

• Provides clean, validated data to the Eligibility and Targeting Module

• Interacts with the Interoperability and Integration Module for data exchange with external systems

• Supplies data quality metrics to the Reporting and Analytics Module

• Interfaces with the Security and Privacy Module for data protection and access control

This module plays a vital role in maintaining the overall quality and reliability of the IBR data. It ensures that the data used for decision-making and program operations is accurate, consistent, and up-to-date. The comprehensive benefit record allows for visual analysis in a timeline format, facilitating better understanding of a beneficiary's history and current status.
