Balancing Information Governance and Your Company’s Mission
Information Governance and Security, 2015Co-Authors: John G. Iannarelli, Michael O’shaughnessyAbstract:Will an Information Governance Plan be compatible with your organization’s current structure? This chapter explains that some business models were established without taking Information Governance into account. Such organizations are not designed in a way that will easily permit the introduction of internal policy and procedure regarding your IT systems and data. It also discusses how businesses should draw the line between having Information Governance policies to protect their important data and not inhibiting their ability to conduct business.

The Case for Information Governance
Information Governance and Security, 2015Co-Authors: John G. Iannarelli, Michael O’shaughnessyAbstract:In today’s Information age, are businesses protecting their most important resources: company and client data? Annually, businesses lose billions of dollars due to data leakage, on top of which the government often imposes millions in fines. This does not include the irreparable damage caused to a company’s reputation. It is not a matter of whether you will be a victim; it is a matter of when. In this chapter, the authors explain why implementing a solid Information Governance Plan is the key to avoiding becoming a victim and to keeping your company’s proprietary Information safe.

What to do First
Information Governance and Security, 2015Co-Authors: John G. Iannarelli, Michael O’shaughnessyAbstract:In this chapter, the authors explain that most companies have done very little—if anything at all—to develop Information Governance policies to protect their business. While most understand the importance of Information Governance, few have taken the necessary steps to ensure implementation. If an organization is going to have a comprehensive and successful Information Governance Plan, the first step will be to establish a committee to oversee the development and implementation of these policies. The persons on this committee, along with the person appointed to be in charge, will be critical to the outcome and the polices that are developed.

Effects of Minimum Unit Pricing for Alcohol in South Africa Across Different Drinker Groups and Wealth Quintiles: A Modelling Study
2021Co-Authors: Naomi Gibbs, Colin Angus, Simon Dixon, Charles D. H. Parry, Petra S. MeierAbstract:Background: Previous research in high income countries has found Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol to be an effective policy for reducing alcohol-related harm. However, these results may not translate well to South Africa, notable for high levels of abstinence, binge drinking, unrecorded alcohol and alcohol-related injury and infectious disease. Methods: We built an epidemiological policy appraisal model using secondary data to estimate the effects of MUP across sex, drinker groups and wealth quintiles. Stakeholder interviews and workshops informed model development and ensured policy relevance. Model outcomes include individual consumption, individual spend, tax revenue, retail revenue and group health harms (HIV, intentional injury, road injury, liver cirrhosis and breast cancer). Findings: We estimate that a MUP of R10 per standard drink (15ml of pure alcohol) would lead to an immediate reduction in consumption of 5.5%. The absolute reduction in standard drinks per drinker per year is greatest for heavy drinkers, followed by moderate drinkers and then binge drinkers (-97.76, -25.48, -17.16).A R10 MUP generates 23,149 lives saved and 1,009,477 cases averted across the five health harms over 20 years. Poorer drinkers would see greater impacts from the policy (consumption: -7.9% in poorest, -3.7% in richest quintile). The bottom three wealth quintiles accrue 76% of the deaths averted and 74% of the cases averted. Interpretation: Our model estimates minimum pricing would reduce alcohol consumption in South Africa, improving health outcomes whilst raising retail and tax revenue. Consumption and harm reductions would be greater in poorer compared to richer groups. Funding Statement: This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust Doctoral Training Centre in Public Health Economics and Decision Science [108903/Z/19/Z] and the University of Sheffield. Also the South African Medical Research Council. Declaration of Interests: We declare no competing interests. Ethics Approval Statement: Ethical approval for engaging with stakeholders was granted by the South African Medical Research Council (Protocol ID: EC005-4/2019) and the School of Health and Related Research at the University of Sheffield, UK (Reference Number: 023357). All data for the model came from secondary sources and was managed according to an approved Information Governance Plan.
