This important work involves both healthcare professionals and the IT teams that provide communications platforms and support. Recently, we analyzed the digital asset management (DAM) needs of a global healthcare corporation. We learned that corporations need to integrate software, company culture and library skills. Healthcare libraries often present a complex mix of evidence-based research and user support; we shared the ways a librarian\u2019s expertise could be leveraged to increase effectiveness and communication.<\/p>\n<p>The following are a few lessons learned from our digital asset management project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Without a digital library to share content, visualization is difficult to generate or coordinate<\/li>\n<li>Marketing teams can use data visualization as a way to improve coordination across the enterprise<\/li>\n<li>When information is not shared across the enterprise, it creates silos of content that is often lost and not re-used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To capitalize on visualization opportunities at your organization, consider these four steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reflect on the unique and distinctive aspects<\/strong>of data in your organization. How do staff or clients use your information: in what context and in what environment?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider potential partners<\/strong>who can help your organization increase its data visualization skills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identify the visualization opportunities<\/strong>that your team can offer. Can you add technology to your services? What innovation is possible? How can the team be more effective?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop a strategic program<\/strong>for your data visualization needs. What is your organization up against? How can you overcome technical challenges? What are the risks of investment?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>ACA can help you develop a strategic program. We are accomplished analysts, providing IT solutions by surveying the information needs of healthcare organizations, the IT\/DAM landscape, and the information needs of teaching hospitals and healthcare organizations. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.acohen.com\/feedback.html\">Contact us<\/a>to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data visualization can offer unique insight into a health sciences organization.
