The Importance of Data Creators

Created by the HITEQ Center, April 2025

Data plays a crucial role in a health center’s day-to-day operations and in meeting external reporting requirements, like the annual Uniform Data System (UDS) report. While the Quality team is often responsible for maintaining and reporting this data, it’s created by a wide range of clinical support staff—medical assistants, nurses, front desk teams, and even call center employees. This video helps to build a culture of shared responsibility by providing an introduction for clinical support staff into why complete and timely data collection matters, and how everyone plays a part in making sure the data is accurate.

An accessible version of the video is linked below under "Resource Links".
