Clinical Operations Dashboards
1 Background
University Health Network (UHN) is an international source for research, patient care and education and consists of four hospitals, five research institutes, and a post-secondary institution. Our purpose is to transform lives and communities through excellence in care, discovery, and learning. With over 1,200 beds, more than one million clinic visits per year, and a budget of over $2 billion, UHN and its 16,000 employees make a difference in the lives of patients and their families every day.

2 Challenge
UHN has an aging and complex patient population. With increasing volumes and longer wait times, UHN is challenged to deliver world-class care with limited resources. With hundreds of electronic systems, there is too much data and not enough insight and data-driven action. Prior to the Clinical Operations Dashboard project, our executives were unable to see key performance metrics on a real-time basis (see Figure 1 Past and Present for Clinical Operations Dashboards). Our dashboards help identify congested areas leading to opportunities to improve capacity to support patient flow.

3 Outcome
One of UHN’s strategic objectives is focusing on Operational Excellence: finding safer, simpler and smarter ways of providing exceptional care. As a values-based organization, UHN believes in an integrated approach to putting the needs of our patients first. The Clinical Operations Dashboards play a fundamental role, utilizing data analytics, in driving efforts to improve patient flow across our organization and providing efficient, sustainable, and patient-centered care. This project enables the following:
- Translate complicated data into simple to understand insights: many of our clinicians are not data experts and do not understand “data” fluently. Our dashboards utilize data visualization to remove the noise and processing and allow them to focus on key insights
- Increase views by 1300%: previously, census information is provided manually twice a day, we have seen our Executive Vice President (EVP) access the census dashboard at least 28 times in 1 day
- Shift from reactive to proactive: the dashboard allows our users to see real-time data analytics and respond quicker to key events that may impact patient flow. There are times when our EVP sees an emerging “critical” status on our dashboard, it will prompt him to immediately go down to the Emergency department
- Improve Communication: the dashboard introduces new opportunities for “rounding to influence” that helps bridge the potential information gap between our executive audience and front line staff and allow us to start crucial coaching conversations across our teams
- Identify Bottlenecks and Pain Points: the dashboard improves our understanding of busy times and can aid in predicting staff workload and timing of scheduled visits and potential improvement to staff satisfaction
