Data Storyteller

This webinar series was hosted to support various roles who work with data in health centers to provide best practices and promote equity through data collection and analysis. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to meaningfully use data to improve their health center.

The HITEQ Center conducted a webinar on building and sustaining a data driven culture for Community Health Care Association of New York State. Too often, analytic initiatives and data capacity building are based on the heroics of a few individuals. In times of high turnover and changing priorities, how can we make data driven decision-making part of a health center’s culture? This webinar introduced concepts, tools and examples to help manage data as a strategic asset, align data strategy with organizational strategy, and explored ways to implement a data services function. Even small agencies with scarce resources can develop the skillset, mindset, and toolset to embed and sustain a data driven culture. 

Building on the HITEQ Center’s previous webinars that introduced an Analytic Capability Assessment, building a roadmap for action and using data governance to maximize the value of data, the third webinar in this series explored how to grow and sustain these efforts. Too often, analytic initiatives and data capacity building are based on the heroics of a few individuals. In times of high turnover and changing priorities, how can we make data driven decision-making part of a health center’s culture? This webinar introduced the Data Strategy Worksheet, a tool developed by the Center for Care Innovation to help align data strategy with organizational strategy, as well as explored ways to implement a Data Services function. Even small agencies with scarce resources can develop the skillset, mindset, and toolset to embed and sustain a data driven culture.
