HITEQ Highlights: A Roadmap for Building a Data Driven Culture

As healthcare becomes more data driven, health centers are aware that they need to build their “organizational muscle” for data analytics, but often may not know where to start. In this webinar the HITEQ Center introduced the Analytics Capability Assessment (ACA), a tool developed by the Center for Care Innovations that allows users to look critically at an organization’s analytics capability across three key domains: people, process, and technology. By determining their level of capability in each of these factors, organizations can develop an individualized roadmap to focus and prioritize capability-building efforts. The tool also helps to demystify some of the jargon that can often alienate non-technical staff. Methods, examples, and tips for deploying the ACA in health center organizations were also shared.
