    Don't let data become too much of a good thing in clinical path, outcomes tracking efforts.

    • Data Strateg Benchmarks. 1998 Mar 1;2(3):44-7.

It was just too much work, and the reports weren't even useful. A new variance tracking system includes targeting three to 10 key events for each pathway and has resulted in greater tracking compliance and data accuracy.
