A monitoring dashboard can provide an overview of key metrics obtained from Google Analytics and Dot. It is presented in a summarised format, which you can share with a wide audience.
Reviewing key trends on the dashboard can help your team manage work priorities and highlight areas of interest. Archiving dashboard reports creates snapshots of the programme's progress, and reviewing them can provide a useful foundation for starting an evaluation.
The dashboard comprises several objective measures for programme monitoring. However, your team needs to create a comprehensible narrative around the data. Other hospital metrics are also required to gain a deeper understanding of the programme and its performance.
