Our symposium will describe a variety of ways we have used data visualization in a 114-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit to provide audit and feedback of various practices and generate continuous improvement through this activity. Interactive and customizable dashboards are a powerful tool to understand our data. Clinicians can easily see results in various practice areas, driving decisions in intervention selection. Data is made more accessible, thus providing an additional facilitator to implementation methods. After demonstrating various use cases, we will use a live demonstration to show how data can be synthesized into an interactive dashboard.

Learning Objectives:

Summarize effective elements of audit and feedback methods
Describe the benefit of using data visualization to provide feedback
List data that could benefit from visualization methods
Describe basic steps to using an application to build a data dashboard
