One of the hallmarks of a high-functioning cardiovascular (CV) service line is a culture of collaboration, often reflected in joint leadership and accountability between physicians and administrators toward a set of common goals. However, achieving such alignment is much easier said than done in practice. Competing priorities, personal agendas, suboptimal communication, and lack of performance transparency can often impede the best efforts for effective service line governance. In this webinar, sponsored by Biome Analytics, we discuss how to fully leverage data to overcome these barriers and strengthen alignment between CV physicians and administrators. By attending this webinar, you will learn:

• The value of harmonizing clinical, operational, and financial data to serve as a “single source of truth” for effective decision-making.
• How to interpret clinical and financial data together to prioritize areas of need within the CV service line and remove implicit bias.
• How to advocate to the C-Suite for continued investment and resources to support CV service line growth and program optimization.
