In this simulation activity, participants explore the complexities of undertaking measurement to inform improvement activities and the infrastructure (roles, processes, and tools) needed to ensure that data can be effectively collected and acted upon. These materials for instructors or facilitators can be used after participants have been introduced to measurement for improvement and different types of data that can support learning about a theory of improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data infrastructure is made up of the roles, processes, and tools that allow an organization to collect, manage, analyze, and act on data. This infrastructure is needed to support networked improvement and to enable a community to act quickly on what they are learning through their improvement efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This set of resources for facilitators includes the following materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
