The students are to consider their department’s/unit’s vision. What data will they need to examine where they are today and where they want to go in the future. The Big Data SMART Strategy Board/Panel helps them to clarify SMART questions for each of the panels. The questions help to focus their efforts on the right data, the SMART data to answer the questions. Basically, data can be endless. Thus, using the SMART Strategy, nurses can more efficiently identify most important data needed to achieve their department’s or organization’s strategic goals and vision.

Here are the key items that are addressed in the respective panels. I have an example done in PowerPoint and Padlet. I pretended that I ran a progressive care unit. Our strategic goal was to achieve the coveted Beacon Award. Thus, all of my SMART Questions aligned with this purpose and vision. See examples in the folder.
