Analysis of clinical care, training and research activity: without
doubt, this is the part of the HO’s internal analysis with the
greatest scope.Itis importantthatthe analysis is conductedover
a long enough period to detect trends that may motivate
taking strategic decisions. This analysis has to be addressed
from the perspective of the quantity, quality and cost of
production; comparing the HO’s data to standard data and data
from competitors is of maximum utility. The analysis of activity
should not simply produce an avalanche of data but must be
synthesized to highlight whatis relevant and bring out any need
to take strategic decisions.
