Effective Data Usage for Quality and Care Improvement
Health care organizations have more data than ever and are struggling to determine what to measure and how to use it for improvement. Data is a critical component of decision-making in health care, and ensuring that accurate data is used properly is necessary for any reform effort a system might undertake.
Relationship-Based Care and Improved Health Outcomes
At Southcentral Foundation, we have been practicing relationship-based care for two decades. Customer-owners choose their own providers and are always free to choose another if they wish to, but most customer-owners stay with the same providers and form strong, long-term relationships.
