Professor Linda Travis Macomber’s Renaissance.Health learning lab calls for a shift from “sick care” to true health—using digital tools and AI to connect people, clinicians, and systems so deci

From Data to Decisions: Three Essential Aggregate Dashboards for Healthcare Executives Overview From Data to Decisions: Three Essential Aggregate Dashboards for Healthcare Executives Healthcare executives face a common challenge: transforming fragmented, high-volume data into decisions that improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and strengthen organizational performance. Aggregate dashboards—which consolidate data across populations, departments, and time periods—are the too
