MODULE OVERVIEW

Unlock the power of data for storytelling

Through the webinar, tool, and resources included in this Got Data? Module, we hope to shed light on the power of storytelling using data as a population health tool. It can be used to raise awareness in your community and effectively engage policy makers, health professionals, and community leaders to create a healthier environment. During this module, you will acquire practical tools and examples that can be applied to your own community and gain the opportunity to share challenges and successes with your cohort.

Video & Audio Instructions

This instructional video* provides an overview of the purpose and elements of the tool, which helps to create a reflective/ CQI mindset around data. Please review these instructions prior to beginning your work on the tool.

*This video was recorded in 2021 prior to our name change from the Center for Health Leadership and Practice (CHLP) to the PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact (CHLI). It also references the Got Data? Tool from the 2021 cohort year, which had different due dates from this year. While logos and submission dates are not up to date in the video, the content and instructions about how to complete this tool are accurate.

Leadership Reflection Questions

  1. How can you enhance authentic engagement with community around data and data analysis? 

  2. What was your “ah-ha” learning moment? 

  3. How can you apply this to your leadership? How will it help you be a more effective leader? How will this help you to “manage up” with sponsors and other leaders? 

  4. Knowing what data is available, how it is analyzed and how you will use it to plan, communicate, and make decisions, how will this influence your AHLP? 

    • How does this affect your Big Picture? 

    • How does this adjust your leadership challenges, context, and stakeholders? 

    • How does this influence your Network Map? 

    • Do you want to strengthen ties and share data with new networks? 

 

Share your data story (optional)

Is your team using maps, photo voice, or some other data visualization technique to tell your story and visualize your work? If so, please share with us what you are capturing with your data. We would love to display this work on your Team Hub page here on the program portal.

California Overdose Prevention Network (COPN) Measurement Guide

This measurement guide was created for coalitions.  It draws from on-the-ground work with an array of local overdose prevention coalitions affiliated with the Center for Health Leadership and Practice’s overdose prevention networks and is organized around the sequence in which any coalition (overdose focused or not) need to work with data.

There’s no expectation that you will read through these chapters from start to finish. Your coalition, for example, may be well-versed in where to go to obtain data but need support with analyzing and communicating findings. Or maybe, you have easy access to a communication team who can help you frame messaging and spread the word, but you don’t know where to find relevant data. In short, start (and end) your use of this guide where it makes the most sense for you.
