Data Storyteller

In this Use Case session, Increasing Data Analysis Capabilities, we reviewed how the three main categories of healthcare data are collected and used within a health center. We will also identified common data analysis tools, and determined the steps needed to leverage data for quality improvement. The session concluded by having a conversation with two health center nurses to discuss the human side of data./p

In this use case session, we will hear from Jared Pollick and Charlene Wright at Family Health Services of Darke County about their experience with data and value-based care (VBC) to drive chronic disease prevention and management. Attendees will learn about practical strategies, such as developing a staff quality incentive program, that foster collaboration and improve patient outcomes.

This practical, introductory guide to data analysis features Ana, a nurse who is transitioning into a clinical informatics role by learning data analysis in a health center setting.

Do you play a key role in gathering, analyzing, and visualizing data at your health center? This HITEQ webinar taught about how to use our Health Center Dashboard Design Guide, a comprehensive guide to user-centered dashboard design for health center staff. Using this guide, you and your team can develop dashboards that enable data exploration and use by making more informed design decisions, moving beyond the defaults.

Having rapid access to data in health centers is critical to managing clinics, using operational data to improve care, and reporting quality measures. Quality, accessible data in health care can do more than feature in reports and accountability systems: effective communication of information can improve quality of care, alignment to evidence-based care principles, and data-informed decision making. Charts, graphs, maps, and other data visualizations play a key role in making information accessible. Visualizations make the patterns in large datasets rapidly apparent, showing when numbers are going up or down, performance compared to goals, comparison between patient groups, and more. The purpose of this resource is to provide a comprehensive guide to user-centered dashboard design for health center staff.
