    Abstract:
    Effective data-driven analyses of service-line performance require: Buy-in and agreement at the outset from all parties (hospital and physicians) on the validity of the data used to evaluate service-line performance, Actionable data and metrics relevant to physicians, with financial goals tangibly linked to clinical improvement, Transparent sharing of data with physicians to build their trust and support the case for change, A physician champion who can help validate findings and guide how data are presented, Willingness of physicians to acknowledge that the opportunity for improved margin depends largely on the variable costs that they control as individuals.
