The Evolution of the Analytics Maturity Model
The analytics maturity model used by UNC Healthcare has evolved significantly to better focus on outcomes. Initially introduced in the late 2010s, it guided UNC's analytics program as it transitioned from a young initiative to a robust system capable of scaling operations.
