Week 5 - Assignment: Plan Data Collection Effort for Informed Decision Making

Instructions

There are times when you do not have internal data to inform your organizational

growth and performance. In such cases, you will have to either collect your own data

or look externally for data. These data can serve as a baseline for your strategic goals

and objectives.

Part 1:

To ensure that your organization builds a solid data program, you have decided to

provide the implementation team with a plan for the type of data needed. Based on

your reading for the week, populate the table below with information that you deem

most appropriate.

As the table shows, highlight two clinical, two operational, two financial, and two

benchmarking data that your stakeholders are interested in capturing at this time.
