    Quality Café – The Power of Small Data: How Local Data Collection Can Drive QI

    Automated indicators, reports or dashboards are a great resource for monitoring our performance, but often lack the specificity, timeliness or widespread access to support change at the local level.  And they rarely provide the meaningful feedback loop to those delivering care if their efforts to improve are working.  Join this webinar to learn ways of using simple data collection methods – pen and paper by the team at a local level – to get meaningful insight about our improvement efforts.  This small-scale measurement, when defined, collected and shared by the care team, can ensure an outsized impact on improvement efforts through team engagement.
