Corporate Health Promotion Plan Data Organization

Keeping Corporate Health Promotion Plan data organized is essential in order to be able to determine Corporate Health Promotion Plan impact and participant progress. Use the simple steps below to keep your data organized.

Manage Corporate Health Promotion Plan data electronically.
• Storing Corporate Health Promotion Plan outcomes data electronically is the best way to manage that information.
• An electronic system will enable you to review and analyze the data more efficiently.
• Scan old surveys and other Corporate Health Promotion Plan information that exist only on paper into .pdf format for permanent storage.

Find the Corporate Health Promotion Plan system that works best for you.
• Some staff members are more comfortable with spreadsheet applications; others rather work with database applications.
• You will be more likely to use a Corporate Health Promotion Plan that you are familiar and/or comfortable with.
• Standardize data collection and organization. Keep data columns/fields in the same order for all Corporate Wellness Programs.

Keep the Corporate Health Promotion Plan as simple as possible.
• You do not have to be a Wellness Programming wizard or use complicated data entry interfaces in order to manage Corporate Health Promotion Plan outcomes data.
• A simple spreadsheet is an excellent way to keep your data organized.

Store all Corporate Health Promotion Plan data numerically.
• Using numbers (instead of words) will make the data much easier to enter and analyze. By way of example: use “1” for yes; “0” for no OR “1” for male; “2” for female.
• Number survey responses that contain strings of words. By way of example: instead of entering the responses: “patient education videos”, “news,” or “no TV,” number the responses so you only have to enter “1,” “2,” or “3.”

Label all Corporate Health Promotion Plan data clearly.
• Make sure all the data columns, rows, or fields are labeled. The data is worthless if you don’t know what data is in which column.
• The spreadsheet/database should include an explanation for column, row, field, and data abbreviations and a key for numbered responses.

Use consistent Corporate Health Promotion Plan data units.
• Make sure all data entered into a given column is expressed with the same unit of measure. By way of example, enter all heights as total inches, not as a combination of feet and inches.
Putting your data in order by using a simple system that works for you will enable you to track participant accomplishments. Keeping your data organized also makes it easier to communicate Corporate Health Promotion Plan impact to leadership and make Corporate Health Promotion Plan improvements as needed.
