In this episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff is joined by Capstone’s Chief Transformation Officer, Courtney Kloehn, to explore what it really means to build a data-driven culture in healthcare organizations. While many organizations collect and report data, far fewer use it effectively to guide decisions, align teams, and drive meaningful improvement. Sue and Courtney discuss how organizations can move beyond simply reviewing data to using it as a tool for action, ownership, and continuous advancement.

Courtney also shares a practical data-driven initiatives worksheet designed to help teams identify opportunities, align with organizational priorities, and create more impactful action plans.

Here is the link to the “Data Driven Initiatives Worksheet” referenced in this episode.

Hi! I’m Sue Tetzlaff. I’m a culture and execution strategist for small and rural healthcare organizations - helping them to be the provider and employer-of-choice so they can keep care local and margins strong.

For decades, I’ve worked with healthcare organizations to navigate the people-side of healthcare, the part that can make or break your results. What I’ve learned is this: culture is not a soft thing. It’s the hardest thing, and it determines everything.

When you’re ready to take your culture to the next level, here are three ways I can help you:

Every week, I share conversations with leaders who are transforming healthcare workplaces and strategies for keeping teams engaged, patients loyal, and margins healthy.
