#21: COVID-19: Data: Beyond the Numbers

Are you drowning in seemingly useless data?Every aspect of a health center’s operations can be tracked using data, but it is the health centers that utilize data to problem-solve and innovate that are the most successful. Not only does this podcast discuss the ways data can be tracked and what should be tracked, but also methods to apply data to innovation to avoid its collection being “busy work.” Data expert and former Coleman Associate Carlos Avina, joins us in this podcast to discuss the ways health centers can utilize data creatively. In our order for data to be used to its potential, you must develop it, understand it, and tie it back to a purpose. This process begins by identifying goals and data metrics that relate to those goals which provide the opportunity to assess yourself against industry standards. According to Avina, this process of data utilization can help an organization identify problems, create solutions to pre-existing problems, and be predictive of patterns within the organization. Through healthcare and other examples, Avina will navigate you through starting the big data conversation within your organization to ways to fully utilize data. Tweet us @colemanassoc, send us an email, or follow us on Facebook.Book References: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership FableBig Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and ThinkGuests: Carlos Aviña Host:Ryan JuryThanks for listening!
