A Healthy Reporting System

[Marilyn Marchant]

We all know that good health is a balancing act across all aspects of our lives:  nutrition, life purpose, physical fitness, emotional well-being and connection to others.   They all interconnect.  And while each has its own unique set of considerations, we must be mindful of every aspect in order to have optimal health.  Likewise, if one area is suffering, the success of the whole is compromised.

But did you know that similar principles apply to the health (and success) of a healthcare reporting system?  It’s true.  We think first about acquiring the necessary technology.  But technology alone is insufficient because the people involved must also be considered.  And did you know there are three skill areas required?  And that the staff must be empowered to act according to the mission? But how do you make sure they are?  Of course, a thorough understanding of your stakeholders is essential, too.

All aspects must be considered.  For example, our customers have seen that the lack of a good ad hoc program can make the report backlog grow exponentially which leads to frustrated employees and very dissatisfied end-users.  Likewise, the lack of an enterprise-wide reporting program will lead to dysfunctional silos (and ultimately to trust issues and productivity drain). 

We’ve found there are 9 vital aspects to a well-balanced system:

• Line of sight to organizational priorities
• Plan at the enterprise level
• Data quality
• Accountable stewards
• Automation
• Ad Hoc for special requests
• Data visualization
• Engaged stakeholders
• Empowered staff

Join our webcast to learn how to approach the 9 vital aspects of a well-balanced reporting system.  We’ll discuss the importance of each aspect with a definition of “good health” for each.  Finally, we’ll point you to supplemental information in case you find an area that needs further attention. Achieving a healthy, successful reporting system is challenging but with a comprehensive overview and a few changes in critical areas, it is possible to reach a better balance.
