Video Presentation and Spreadsheet

Create a spreadsheet that illustrates data trending over time related to a particular line of service that you are monitoring. Then, record a 5-7 minute professional video presentation in which you describe how and why you are monitoring the outcomes for a particular service line in order to improve care.

Introduction

To develop strategies for service line development, leaders need to know how to monitor outcomes that provide pertinent information in support of strategic development. Leaders then need to be skilled at communicating their analysis of those outcomes to other leaders in the organization in order to create awareness and build support for any proposed strategies arising from the analysis.
