Judiciously applied data has the power to transform care for patients, and improve the health of our communities. I once had the honor of working with a truly innovative leader, who held providers in her system to high standards for patient outcomes. Her reasoning was higher standards both improve care and have a spillover effect; by holding our providers to a higher level we’ll improve our patients outcomes, which will raise the bar for our community, which will raise the bar for our region, which will raise the bar for the nation. Local changes can have big national effects — identifying opportunities for change, developing solutions, and then sharing the improvements widely creates better health, better patient experiences, and lower healthcare costs.
