Translating Data into Better Outcomes: Practical Approaches to Using Data to Facilitate Change

Event Description: 

“Most of the world will make decisions by either guessing or using their gut. They will be either lucky or wrong.”- Suhail Doshi, CEO, Mixpanel

Community Based Organizations (CBOs)  understand the importance of using data to drive decision-making. When done well, data-driven decision making helps CBOs deliver services in a way that improves outcomes for the individuals they serve and provides the evidence of the value they bring to payers and partners. However, developing organizational approaches to efficiently and effectively collect, analyze, and apply data to address challenges and opportunities can be challenging. Many CBOs voice frustration in developing data fluency within their organizations, as well as in engaging staff at all levels. Evidence of this frustration was reflected in the results from the HCBS Business Acumen Environmental Scan and Needs Assessment Survey where CBOs, states and health plans, alike, indicated that CBOs have great familiarity with data collection but less confidence in applying data-driven decision-making principles to their work. 

Join us on June 27, 2018 from 12:30 – 1:30P Eastern to hear from Abby Morgan and Matt Reed from Direction Home Akron Canton in Ohio and Robert Goldsmith from Adults and Children with Learning Disabilities (ACLD) in New York on approaches their organizations have taken to move beyond these frustrations to practical approaches that will help you adapt the culture of your organization to create a fertile landscape for data driven results and ultimately promote the use of data to manage your organization.

Understand how to implement data metrics and dashboards to support organizational decision-making
Understand approaches that enable staff at all levels to easily participate and understand in data-driven strategies;
