Your advantages:
FIRE dashboard
As a FIRE participant, you will receive access to the FIRE dashboard with the following features:
-
See quality indicators of your own practice in context
-
Quality circle-ready: Define objectives and measures based on data
-
Trends, comparison with the FIRE collective, progress (delta/trend) at a glance
-
Browser-based, no installation, no additional operational effort
Before the FIRE dashboard is made available to all participating practices, it will be evaluated in a study. Access will initially be provided within the framework of this study, which is planned to start in September 2026. The usefulness, usability, and integration into QZ processes will be scientifically examined and made practice-oriented. Broader availability for all FIRE participants is scheduled for summer 2027.
