Just as the dashboard of your car provides timely feedback on vital performance measures, so should an organization’s dashboards inform decision makers and board members on where the organization is headed and how it is progressing toward its strategic objectives. But in the complex, messy world with many oftentimes conflicting data requirements, how do you decide what’s important to measure and how do you design and implement an effective and efficient measurement system?
Building a Quality Measurement System that Works, a new hands-on seminar from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), will provide you with a practical framework for constructing and evaluating a dashboard of key measures.
