Data Driven Decisions for Dispatch – the “Why” of Academy Analytics | January 11, 2022
View Recording
We increasingly hear the term “data-driven” decision-making, but what does it really mean? Understanding your data and the story it unfolds about your dispatch operations is the first step in identifying ways to strategically improve your organization.
The International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED), Priority Dispatch, and FirstWatch—the teams behind the Academy Analytics program that makes it easy to track, view, and use emergency communications center data—give us an insightful look into the why of data-driven decision-making. From providing insights to what is and isn’t working, to accurately determining if an issue is tied to a person, policy, or protocol, you’ll learn how the right tools can provide actionable information that makes a difference.
