Data & goal setting

Body

Establishing goals that align with overarching organizational strategy and rely upon data collection for benchmarking allows hospitals to generate the deep insights they need to guide their sustainability initiatives and improve resource efficiency. 

The adoption of SMART goals has gained traction in health care in recent years. Health systems find including data governance in the goal setting process leads to improved alignment of goals with the overarching organizational mission, garners leadership buy-in, and allows for tracking progress against goals. 

Hospitals and health systems are often unsure whether data collection or goal setting should come first.
