Healthcare analytics: Embrace all sources to achieve diversity

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to guest blog on the Premier, Inc. "Action for Better Healthcare" site about a great project we'd completed alongside the leadership team at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Suffern, NY.

This post was a great opportunity to reflect on a project that challenged me to understand & integrate "competing" data sets and navigate the nuances of data credibility... a perception that is often driven by peer norms, professional biases, and natural anxieties that arise when working with unfamiliar data sources and processing methods.

In the end, it's all about the right tool for the job at hand... and building trust among your team that each participant is competent in using the tools they are most familiar with to expand the capacity of your analytics tool belt.

An added benefit: Embracing competing and unfamiliar sources can unlock new insights into the problem at hand... and demonstrates your commitment to collaborative work environments that embrace diverse perspectives.
