Skills Gained: Data Analytics | Strategic Planning | Innovative Care Models | Impactful Storytelling
Module 1: New and Emerging Data Sets
Part 1: Data Analytics
Tuesday, August 19 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Central
Hospitals and health systems are inundated with data but don’t always know how to make sense of it or use it. In this comprehensive training session, we’ll discuss the past, present, and future of data. Learn how to leverage state, national, and third party data, such as consumer digital behavior and claims data, to make the most of your existing clinical and financial data. Additionally, we will explore opportunities for strategic planning and marketing programs, as well as understand data usage rights.
Part 2: Using Longitudinal Patient Data to Broaden Your Strategic Plan
Tuesday, August 21 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Central
The role of strategic planning has evolved from decision support to decision leadership. As the data needs of health systems expand, strategic planners will be asked by their leadership team to draw meaningful insights from a growing cache of market data. Strategic planners must make sure their market assessments do not simply report market conditions, but actively surface the best growth opportunities and identify the strongest response to emerging market disruptions. We will identify new approaches to modernizing market assessments and highlight new analyses for making them more actionable.

Health care organizations are increasingly focused on growth beyond their traditional footprints. This session will focus on using data and analytics to evaluate new ambulatory opportunities, assess potential mergers and acquisitions, and understand evolving patient demand across geographies.

Tuesday, August 28 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Central
Module 4: Data Visualization and Storytelling
Tuesday, September 2 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Central
We will use a case study to demonstrate how to use Business Intelligence (BI) and geographic information system (GIS) tools to effectively build a strategic growth plan. First we’ll discover the right service line opportunities. Once the strategic opportunities have been identified, there are strategies that can be identified using BI and GIS, such as micro-market opportunities, physician strategies, and FSED development. Once illustrating how BI & GIS tools can be utilized to visualize data and draw meaningful insights, we will build a narrative suitable for presentation to upper management or a Board of Directors for your strategic growth initiatives.
