Episode notes
Design Outcomes Backwards From Impact
- Start outcome design from the impact and work backwards to outcomes, outputs, and inputs.
- This backward approach reveals what clinical and operational data you must collect to explain success or failure.
Define A Ubiquitous Outcomes Strategy
- Standardise a ubiquitous outcomes strategy: define the one thing to collect and layers for more detail.
- Use operational data (eg. gym swipes) to infer causality and explain outcome variation.
Outcomes Drive Data Strategy
- Outcome frameworks naturally reveal gaps in the organisation's data landscape and become the driver of data strategy.
- Knowing what to capture everywhere is essential before you can centrally analyse and compare pathways.
