Act & Apply: Enhancing Digital Health Tools for Improved Patient Care and Efficiency

Session Description: This session recapped the 7-session journey of this series and then worked on deconstructing complex, real-world data challenges (e.g., "unreliable data," "lack of action") into actionable steps by applying targeted QI skills like stratification and process mapping. Finally, attendees were encouraged to formulate one specific, actionable "next step" to apply a learned concept from the series to their health center.

Health IT & Data Basics: 101 for New Health Center Staff

Series Description: Designed for staff new to health centers, new to their roles in a health center, or interested in reinforcing their skills, this learning pathway provides a foundational understanding of a health center’s digital and data-driven landscape. This series moves beyond a simple introduction, progressively building essential skills for effective data utilization. Through a series of structured sessions, participants will learn how to navigate health IT systems, understand the importance of data collection, and begin to see how accurate information drives quality care and operational success.
