NOW AVAILABLE: RELEASED 02/27/2020 This program was presented on 2.12.2020 at the Texas Association of Home Care & Winter Conference in Denton.

HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §558.260[a][5]quality improvement Program Description: The shift to electronic medical records, digital systems, and cloud computing has made capturing and compiling large amounts of data much easier. However, despite having large amounts of data, providers are generally faced with the challenge of not knowing how to leverage the data beyond basic reporting. Moreover, in the home and community care sector in particular, visit, operational information, and clinical data is often stored in paper format -- or if is it digital, resides in siloed databases. These system deficiencies make it near impossible to gain a holistic view of operations and eliminates the ability to “pivot” data. The catalyst for this change is to be obsessed about data-driven decision making. The rise of business intelligence (BI) is unlocking actionable insights that will dramatically improve home and community care organizations. Program Learning Outcome: Participants will be able to cite how to leverage data beyond basic reporting and data driven decision making and describe how these insights could dramatically improve home and community care organizations.
