The Healthcare Executive
Data Playbook
How senior leaders govern clinical performance — without drowning in KPIs
A practical executive framework for selecting, governing, and cascading the healthcare metrics that actually matter.
The Problem
Most organisations don’t suffer from a lack of data.
They suffer from too much of the wrong data.
Executives are routinely presented with:
- Dozens of “critical” KPIs
- Polished dashboards that look reassuring
- Metrics that reward activity, not outcomes
The Result?
Teams stay busy. Reports look healthy. And strategic focus quietly erodes.
“High-performing executive teams don’t track more metrics. They govern fewer, better ones.”

03
The difference between measuring performance and governing it
That clarity is not accidental. It is designed.
