Task 2 – Secondary Data Sources
L509 – Professional Practice Experience and Portfolio
Western Governors University
A1. When referencing health data sources, we are referring to primary/secondary data.
Primary data is a type of data that is considered raw data since researchers collect it from the
primary source via surveys, interviews, experiments, etc. This data is essentially collected from
the source/real-time and regarded as the best kind of data. Secondary data is already there,
already existing, by someone else for another purpose. This is at times referred to as aggregate
data. Secondary data has been polished and can be both quantitative and qualitative. Last, it is
not specific to the person using the data obtained when statistical methods are applied to the
primary data.
Differences lie between primary and secondary data. First, while primary data is
continuously related to the specific objective of the researcher, secondary data, on the other hand,
needs to be adjusted to suit the aim of the researcher. Second, primary data is collected from, as
stated above, surveys, interviews, experiments, etc., and these methods can be very costly and
time-consuming. But secondary data is from sources such as websites, registries, journals, etc.
Since this data is scrubbed, it is way more cost-savvy and time-saving.
A2. Three sources of secondary data are disease registries, healthcare newsletters, and an
administrative claims database. First, disease registries are utilized to identify, monitor, and
report health and illness trends. Second, healthcare newsletters help to develop and implement
decision support to health care providers. Third, an administrative claims database, which helps
organizations develop predictive models of cost and accounting.
, A3. Per the secondary source labeled in A2, now we will discuss how they are utilized in
the healthcare industry. First, disease registries are a tracking tool for clinical care/outcomes of a
set defined patient population. The data produced from these registries can be helpful for
clinicians in determining appropriate preventative maintenance and disease management.
Disease registries ultimately support internal/external quality improvement and reporting
requirements as they gather, organize, and display healthcare information. This type of registry
can help say, in a pandemic, like the very one our world is facing right now. It allows public
health officials to track the outbreaks, assist researchers with understanding how outcomes of
different treatments, and identifying those who are immune.
Second, healthcare newsletters are a great secondary data tool for the healthcare industry
since it increases communication with physicians. The newsletters can provide doctors with the
information they need to effectively care for their patients by outlining the latest medications or
medical devices. For instance, a pharmaceutical company manufactures a drug for rheumatoid
arthritis and publishes a monthly newsletter regarding the ongoing research/advice on caring for
patients using this medication. A doctor would value this type of educational material since it
enhances the patient-provider relationship. Healthcare organizations can also utilize newsletters
to engage with their patients effectively. Newsletters are a marketing tool.
Third, an administrative claims database assists the Healthcare industry with secondary
data. When a health care service is provided, the agency then receives reimbursement by
submitting the claim to a payer. For each claim the agency submits, it must have the underlying
medical reason for the service completed during a visit. This data feeds into an administrative
claims database. These databases offer comprehensive/generalized information that can be useful
in providing cost analysis related with the treatment provided. With the cost of healthcare rising,
policymakers and payers are analyzing whether the costs of specific medical interventions are
justified by their outcome.
