Healthcare data is only as powerful as the charts used to communicate its insights. Yet many commonly used Excel charts, such as pie charts, spider charts, and cluttered combo charts, can obscure trends, mislead interpretation, and slow decision-making.
Charts to Avoid When Designing Healthcare Dashboards
In this webinar, we’ll discuss chart types that often create confusion in reporting and why they may not effectively communicate trends, variation, or performance gaps. We’ll also demonstrate chart alternatives that can improve dashboards, simplify reporting, and help decision-makers focus on what matters most.
We’ll use practical healthcare examples to:
- Identify chart types that can misrepresent healthcare data
- Match the right chart type to common reporting scenarios
- Replace cluttered visuals with clearer alternatives
- Improve dashboards and reports in Excel and other visualization tools (Power BI, etc.)
Whether you build operational dashboards, quality reports, or executive summaries, this session will provide practical ideas for creating dashboards that communicate more effectively.
