We understand the power and influence of data, but some of us don’t feel confident in our ability to find and use quality improvement and patient safety (QIPS) data to the best advantage for improving health systems and patient health. It can be a further challenge to convey these skills effectively to our learners. In the CMC setting, students may interact with a variety of staff, faculty and other learners around QIPS data. All are welcome to attend this workshop.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Describe the elements of impactful data (timely, actionable, attributable, measurable)
• Devise strategies to use existing institutional reports to engage learners to design improvement projects
• Using data to identify where there is a problem; an opportunity to address a gap
• Using data to measure improvement due to an intervention
• To analyze the benefits and limitations of data to guide improvement projects
• Describe how providers are rewarded by health systems based off of performance on quality metrics
• Create an accurate EHR data request
