Healthcare organizations have more quality data than ever, yet turning that information into meaningful action remains a challenge. Fragmented data, retrospective reporting and growing measurement complexity can make it difficult to identify what matters most and where to focus improvement efforts.  

Join healthcare leaders from St. Luke’s University Health Network and North Mississippi Health Services for a candid conversation about how organizations are approaching the next generation of quality performance. Hear firsthand about their experiences using new approaches to connect quality data, identify opportunities and translate insights into action.

The discussion will explore what quality modernization looks like in practice, what health systems are learning along the way and how more connected, actionable intelligence can support performance improvement. Attendees will leave with practical perspectives on how to move beyond simply reporting quality and using quality intelligence to drive improvement.

Attendees Will Learn to:

• Describe key challenges health systems face in translating quality data into actionable performance improvement.
• Discuss emerging approaches to quality modernization, including more connected data, meaningful measurement and actionable intelligence.  
• Understand peer health systems’ experiences using new approaches to realize performance and prioritize improvement opportunities.
• Identify opportunities to move beyond retrospective reporting toward a more continuous approach to quality performance improvement.
