Data Storyteller

In our second Reflect & Connect Session we were joined by HITEQ host, Jada Large, Tony Skapinksy from CapitalLink, and Mikkel Finsen from Open Door Family Medical Center as they discussed a tool health centers can use to forecast technology costs. This tool was developed in partnership with CapitalLink and the HITEQ Center.

To kick off our Reflect & Connect sessions within the Information to Insight Skill Builder Series, participants heard from Peter Cummings about his work in leveraging Health IT to maximize Value Based Care. HITEQ host, Jerry Lassa also explored ways that health centers benefit from optimizing their Health IT systems, especially for Value Based Care.

Join us for an introductory session on Health IT and data, where we will provide a high-level overview of how data flows through a health center and why a baseline understanding of these concepts is important for all staff.

Community health centers can use the Excel-based Health IT Financial Forecasting Tool to plan, implement, and maintain health IT systems. This tool assists in documenting costs, funding, and potential revenue for new systems, upgrades, or understanding current cost structures, especially for safety net populations.

HITEQ created this template to assist HCCNs, PCAs, or other organizations in conducting health IT assessments of multiple health centers.
