Read about this and more in the first of our new blog series as we explore the research behind how we design our programs. https://lnkd.in/g7cQk7FU

I couldn't agree more with Dr. Armistead's sentiment. Responding to data is not just a strategy; it's a philosophy that drives meaningful improvements in any field. By leveraging data-driven insights, we gain invaluable clarity into our operations, allowing us to identify strengths, pinpoint areas for growth, and make informed decisions that lead to positive change. Data empowers us to move beyond intuition and speculation, providing concrete evidence to guide our actions. Whether it's refining processes, enhancing customer experiences, or optimizing workflows, data serves as our compass, guiding us toward efficiency, innovation, and ultimately, success. Let's embrace Dr. Armistead's approach and unlock the transformative power of data to drive continuous improvement in our organizations. Together, let's turn insights into action and chart a course toward excellence. #DataDriven #ContinuousImprovement #Innovation

Thanks for this opportunity to collaborate. In a period of scarcity of manpower and financial resources, where time for the individual patient is limited due to high registration burden, healthcare cannot keep up with the digital and technological revolution.

This report strives to do so ! Keep on doing this together by implementing PCVBHC Maasstad Ziekenhuis , Santeon Genootschap Gepersonaliseerde Zorg Linnean Initiatief Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM)
