Boards play a vital role in overseeing the entire hospital, and understanding quality data is key to carrying out that responsibility. This governance education short highlights how quality data empowers boards to ensure the hospital is meeting its safety, quality and regulatory expectations. In less than 15 minutes, the video walks you through how to:
- Identify sources of quality data.
- Understand how quality professionals use data.
- Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative data.
- Interpret common data visualizations.
- Ask the right questions as Board members.
The video and accompanying facilitator guide is also posted in our Governance Education portal. For hospital board members working to earn their Health Care Governance certification, this video counts as one credit towards the certification.
