Harnessing Data

Home / HL Network / Community Workforce & Authentic Relationships

The Health Leads Network offers the kind of tangible resources, learning and community that healthcare practitioners need to turn community health goals into action. Our efforts tackle several of the key barriers front-line practitioners and caregivers face in pursuing health equity — including Harnessing Data.

Below is a selection of resources to help healthcare organizations capture and apply on-the-ground data on community needs, resources and impact to improve care delivery and population health. Check back regularly, as our broader Resource Library grows each week!
