Workforce enablement tools for actionable health data

In a recent webinar, Mike Cook, Director of Analytics, Connor Navrude, Senior Account Executive, and Stephanie Orosz, Technical Solution Architect at Arcadia and how healthcare leaders can empower their workforces to leverage the power of data.

Workforce enablement means providing the right tools, training, and data access so that every team member, regardless of their technical skills, can contribute to better outcomes.

Key benefits of workforce enablement in healthcare:

1. Improved operational efficiency: Streamline workflows and reduce administrative burdens with relevant data.
2. Enhanced patient care: Empower clinical teams with real-time data to make informed decisions.
3. Increased staff engagement: Provide non-technical staff with easy-to-use tools. This allows them to contribute to your organization’s goals.
4. Better resource allocation: Use data insights to focus on areas that will have the most significant impact.
5. Reduced burnout: Deliver actionable data that reduces time spent on manual tasks.

Leveraging mass amounts of healthcare data

Hospitals alone generate about 50 petabytes of data each year. With the amount of data health systems produce, managing a team’s performance is tough. Healthcare leaders need to figure out how to use this data to effectively manage their workforce.

3 steps to maximize workforce potential

• Implement advanced analytics: Use advanced analytics tools to make sense of the vast amounts of data your organization generates. These tools help to uncover actionable insights, allowing staff to make informed decisions.
• Enable data democratization: Ensure that data is accessible to all levels of staff, not just technical teams. User-friendly dashboards allow non-technical team members to use data effectively.
• Integrate data into daily workflows: Provide relevant, easily-accessible real-time information. This reduces administrative burden and allows staff to focus more on patient care.

Self-service dashboards like Arcadia Vista can unlock these insights quickly. Vista makes data more accessible to drive enterprise-wide performance. This approach allows healthcare organizations to tailor data tools to their unique needs, making the overwhelming task of data analysis more manageable.

Helping technical teams focus on what matters

Arcadia’s Foundry allows technical teams to query data from multiple sources. It allows direct access to databases, enabling users to write complex SQL queries for detailed insights. This makes it ideal for organizations with dedicated analytics or data science teams who need more advanced querying capabilities.

Foundry supports custom analytics, ad-hoc queries, and the integration of external datasets, as well as facilitating ETL processes to prepare data for analysis.

This comprehensive solution provides secure and precise data management, enabling technical teams to extract meaningful insights.

Making health data easy to use for everyone

Data democratization means making data available to everyone, even if they aren’t tech-savvy. Tools like Vista Authoring allow users to create healthcare dashboards that meet specific organizational needs.

To engage non-technical teams effectively:

1. Present data clearly: Make sure the data is easy to understand.
2. Focus on relevance: Tailor the information to the team's specific needs.
3. Customize dashboards: Use familiar terms, visual styles, and branding.

These steps can significantly boost user engagement and build trust in the data.

Using data to address physician burnout

Physician burnout is a serious issue. In 2024, 49% of doctors reported feeling burned out. Tools like Vista Push play a crucial role here by delivering targeted insights directly to physicians. These tools allow them to focus more on patient care and less on paperwork.

Improve clinician efficiency

1. Integrate data into workflows: Embed data tools into daily tasks to reduce administrative burdens.
2. Use tools like Arcadia’s Inform to:
   • Reduce charting time
   • Identify quality gaps
   • Highlight important areas that need attention
3. Enhance decision-making: Present patient-specific insights seamlessly, helping clinicians deliver better care.

Why workforce enablement and data democratization matter

Actionable, accessible data is essential for driving operational efficiency and improving patient care. When healthcare organizations harness their data, they empower their workforce. Adopting new tech tools and data-driven strategies is crucial for staying competitive.
