Using Data to Improve Access to Student Health Services
Gain insights into student needs so you can boost health, well‑being and persistence across your campus.
This opening session introduces a broad framework for using diverse data sources to drive systems-based improvement, setting the stage for the webinar series as a whole.
The session will then focus on access to health services and the experience of care as the first domain of application. Presenters will discuss how access, utilization and experience data can surface systemic barriers to care and inform changes to address these barriers.
Through this webinar series, all higher education and campus professionals interested in how to use data to improve student health and well-being will:
- Gain insight into ways to integrate data collection and results into everyday campus workflows
- Explore approaches to prioritizing interventions and aligning stakeholders around shared goals
- Understand strategies for avoiding common pitfalls that stall progress
- Learn practical lessons from institutions with experience successfully driving systems-level improvement

ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES
From Data to Action: Improving Student Health and Well-Being
Colleges and universities generate substantial data related to student health and well-being. Much of the data comes from surveys, while other data are generated automatically through routine campus operations, such as health record systems, service utilization and financial systems. Campuses have an opportunity to not simply maintain these data streams in isolation, but to bring them together within a broader systems context and use them to guide decisions, resource allocation, strategy and action.
The first of this three-part webinar series is designed for campus professionals responsible for turning diverse data streams into coordinated action in a rapidly changing landscape. Presenters will highlight relevant frameworks, emerging practices, and real-world applications related to access to care, financial sustainability and population health. The series offers structured ways of thinking about diverse domains of data, continuous improvement, and measurable progress toward stronger, more responsive systems and better student outcomes.
