“Health data insights aspire to be liberated from slide decks, not die in them.”

Monica Horvath, PhD 

Director of Health Intelligence & Course Instructor

Summary

Are you eager to use the latest, greatest analysis tool to explore a healthcare dataset and tell a story? Or do you load data into such a tool and get stuck thinking “well now what?” If either of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Data means little without our ability to convey its potential. Whether you are building a business case, estimating service utilization, displaying incidence rates, or examining the effectiveness of workflow interventions, a data story is defined by the graphics used to tell it. However, all too often it's hard for us to navigate from learning a tool to using it to solve a real-life problem.

Storytelling for Influence: Healthcare Analytics That Inspires Action is a course that empowers healthcare professionals to explore, find, and communicate data insights having the potential to shape business practices. Through a combination of eLearning, structured problem sets, live-web classes, and instructor coaching, you will develop the competencies to take a business question through a structured process of problem scoping, data exploration, visualization, and storytelling.
