I-QIPS Faculty Development Session

"Enhancing QI Research with Data Visualization and Data Storytelling"

DESCRIPTION:

Effective data visualization and data storytelling can help us move from 'explaining' our findings to capturing our audience’s attention and 'inspiring' action. This session will break down strategies to leverage visual techniques and cognitive biases to captivate an audience and make your research memorable.

At the conclusion of the session, attendees should be able to:

• Describe intentional data visualization and data storytelling for research
• Use key principles of effective data visualization in their projects
• Apply real-world examples for effective data storytelling
