Targeting actionable best practices

How We Help

An exhaustive body of research

Advisory Board research informs all facets of our Employee Engagement Initiative but is perhaps most apparent in the breadth and depth of our recommendations for driving engagement.

Each year the Advisory Board dedicates as small army of full-time staff to surfacing best practices and distilling components critical to effective replication. Our approach is unwaveringly deep, including:

  • 60,000+ working relationships with hospital and health system executives, managers, clinicians and out-of-industry experts
  • 7,500+ interviews and onsite visits focusing on strategies and best practices for responding to top health care challenges
  • 300+ leading newspapers, journals, and websites reviewed daily
  • 1,500+ case profiles of innovative clinical and operational practices
  • 300+ root-cause analyses of the most critical problems confronting member institutions

Custom-fitting a solution set

We recognize, however, that our practice library can be as daunting as it is helpful, especially for leaders with limited time. Accordingly, we have sorted our best practices by engagement driver and embedded hyperlinks in each organization’s results site to speed users from improvement opportunity to responsive action. In addition, our experts are on-call to help construe survey results and target next steps.
