We are joined by Tyler Barnett and Matthew Nichols, PhD of University Hospitals out of Cleveland OH, where they discuss the popular project and goal-setting framework known as OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results.

As leaders within the Population Health and Analytics team at UH, and training in OKRs, they breakdown the OKR methodology, highlight specific examples of how UH has implemented it and ways that your organization can as well.

Previously, Tyler consulted healthcare executives preparing rural hospitals, independent providers, and clinically integrated networks for Fee-For-Value healthcare payment transformation and the business of population health. Tyler also served as an analytics leader re-engineering quality improvement analytics for a health system serving the most diverse region in the country.
