Data are powerful tools people inside and outside of healthcare can use to identify health disparities, inform research initiatives, and build organizational trust and accountability.
In this conversation, the panel explores how healthcare advocates, both in community and within health systems, can harness data to improve health outcomes. Kimberly Alexander (Greensboro Health Disparities Collaborative), Dawn Godbolt (Maven Clinic), and Sam Cykert (University of North Carolina School of Medicine) share their journeys into data work, the importance of qualitative data in capturing the stories of community and understanding their unique needs, and tips on how to secure funding for data analysis.
