Making Healthcare Data Actionable: 5 Essential Dashboards Every Organization Needs

Healthcare teams have more data than ever—but unless it’s turned into clear, actionable insight, the numbers won’t move the needle for patients or performance.

At Valuable Insight, we help value-based care organizations build dashboards that actually guide action—not just summarize the past.

Here are five essential dashboards (and their key metrics) we recommend for any forward-thinking healthcare team:

1. Quality & Outcomes
Key metrics: Care gaps, performance vs. targets, provider-level quality trends
Quickly see how teams are tracking against clinical goals and highlight opportunities for both patient and organizational improvement.

2. Transitions of Care
Key metrics: Follow-up rates, readmissions, missed touchpoints
Spot who’s falling through the cracks after discharge and empower care teams to intervene—before a missed visit becomes a costly event.

3. High-Cost & High-Risk Patients
Key metrics: Top spenders, condition flags, risk scores
Target resources where they’ll have the biggest impact and track the results—no more flying blind.

4. Network Performance
Key metrics: Patient retention, referral flows, utilization patterns
Understand where care is coordinated—and where leakage or inefficiency is hurting outcomes or value.

5. Population Insights
Key metrics: SDoH factors, benchmark comparisons, medication safety
Bring together the bigger picture: not just what’s happening, but why, and how your performance compares across the market.

When dashboards are built for real workflows, not just for reporting, healthcare teams move faster, make smarter decisions, and see results.
