Achieve Data-Informed Healthcare in Eight Steps
Becoming a data-informed healthcare system starts with raw data and ends with meaningful change, driven by raw data. Health systems can follow an eight-step analytics ascension model to transform data into intelligence:
1. Population Identification and Stratification
2. Measurement
3. Data
4. Information
5. Knowledge
6. Insight
7. Wisdom
8. Action
Following the analytics ascension model allows improvement teams to avoid feeling overwhelmed, focus on each step, and see how each step fits into the overall objective, allowing health systems to maximize data.
