Health centers invest significant time and resources collecting a wide range of data, but too often that data, and the information it tells us, does not reach the individuals who need it. In this webinar, staff from the Institute for High Quality Care will explore strategies for turning the data health centers collect into meaningful visualizations that can influence and motivate key stakeholders – like team members, partners, and health center leaders – to take action. Over the course of the webinar, participants will review the qualities that make for compelling data displays, assess the actions they want their key stakeholders to take and consider how data can motivate these actions, and workshop sample charts and graphs for creating persuasive data displays. The examples and references that will be used in this webinar will be specific to Enhanced Care Management (ECM) programs.

During this training, participants will:

• Review the qualities that make for compelling data displays and how these qualities can be replicated using common tools like Excel to create more meaningful data displays
• Using ECM examples, participants will know how to define the actions they might want key stakeholders to take and identify data strategies that could be leveraged to motivate these stakeholders to take those actions
• Define a data display and engagement strategy for initiatives like Enhanced Care Management

Presented by Bridget Hogan Cole, MPH, Executive Director and Chris Hunt, MPH, LSSBB, Program Director from Institute for High Quality Care.
