One of the primary purposes of a dashboard title is to provide context for users. It should give them a sense of what they are looking at, and what they are looking for.
My favorite way to add value to a dashboard title is to have it reflect filter selections. For example instead of saying "How is our hospital system performing?" it could say "How is Trinity Northern performing?" when the dashboard is filtered to a single hospital.
