Using data analytics strategically to achieve your healthcare improvement efforts

Instructor - Trevor Strome - Healthcare Analytics, Business Intelligence, and Quality Improvement Specialist

The promise of data analytics is to provide the evidence and insight necessary to completely revolutionize the delivery of healthcare. Yet so often our “analytics” consists of an oddball collection of disconnected dashboards, reports, miscellaneous spreadsheets. Healthcare leaders throughout an organization need actionable insight to remediate performance issues, implement innovative processes, and manage within financial realities. This is only possible when decision-makers (ranging from executives to front-line quality improvement professionals) are able to access the information they need, when they need it, in a format that is useful and that guides them to the proper actions to take.

The six main components of the Strategic Analytics Framework (Context, Dialogue, Data, Team, Techniques, and Technology) empower an organization to fully leverage the power of the data within their healthcare organizations and to provide healthcare decision-makers with the knowledge and tools to identify improvement opportunities, align improvement efforts throughout the organization, and closely monitor progress towards achieving the goals of transformation.
