Accounts Receivable and Cost Data - answer-Tracking this data ensures adequate
resources for long- and short-term goals and financial planning.
ANOVA test - answer-Analysis of variance (ANOVA) may be used in research
studies where there are two or more groups to compare.
Autonomy - answer-In research, this principle is the right for a person to participate
as a human subject or not. In healthcare, it refers to a patient having the right to
make their own choices, unless they have been legally deemed unable to do so.
Beneficence - answer-This is a concept that concerns the welfare of a research
participant, but it can also apply to the treatment of patients. The opposite term,
"maleficence," describes opposing the welfare of a research participant. You may
also see a term, "malfeasance," which is intentional conduct outside the law.
California - answer-Review the "State Facts" Data provided by the Henry J. Kaiser
Foundation.
Use the data from January 2018 to compare state Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment,
when comparing the pre-Affordable Care Act average monthly enrollment to the total
monthly Medicaid and CHIP enrollment. Select the correct answers to the following
questions.
Which state has the highest enrollment?
Categorical variables - answer-The value is in the name or label. Types of cancers
(breast, skin, lung, etc.) are categorical variables.
Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection Rates (CAUTI) - answer-This hospital-
acquired infection is tracked and reported to Medicare. One of the first hospital-
acquired conditions selected for nonpayment by Medicare.
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) - answer-Responsible for
developing U.S. healthcare policy; administers the Medicare program and federal
portion of Medicaid program.
Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) - answer-Data tracked to
ensure best practices in treating patients receiving repeated IV medication or fluids.
Catheter can become infected over time if guidelines preventing bacterial
contamination are not followed.
Chi-square tests - answer-Chi-square tests determine if an association exists
between two categorical variables.
Confounding Variable - answer-It obscures the effect of another variable. The
researcher may initially believe the variable will influence the research, but findings
show it does not. As a researcher, you may not be able to control its influence on the
, result of the research, but you should have an awareness that it is impacting your
results and not allow it to skew your data.
Continuous variable - answer-This is also known as an interval variable. There is a
meaningful difference between values. An example is body temperature.
Control group - answer-In a healthcare environment, this group of patients does not
receive the treatment that is being studied.
Current lengths of stay for patients after CABG; this data will provide a baseline
trend of current practice.
Number of providers providing direct care for patients post CABG per day;
knowledge of the extent of human resources used for this patient population will be
used to analyze current provider service patterns - answer-The vice president of
operations of a medical facility in Jackson, Mississippi, seeks to improve the
efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and timeliness of patient care at the facility. Over the
past month, 150 patients have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
surgery. These patients require significant resources and are occupying the majority
of beds in the facility, on average, with an eight-day post-procedure length of stay.
Currently, the facility has no established standardized protocol guiding physicians on
postoperative care.
The chief medical officer (CMO) is concerned about the situation and sees this as an
opportunity to perform data analysis and make recommendations based on the
results. The vice president, CMO, and Operations Team are meeting to determine
what types of data to gather and analyze to develop recommendations to present to
their cardiothoracic surgeons. Their goal is to develop standardized protocols for the
care management of this patient population and benchmark the results over time
with external standards. The following web link is an additional reference in
determining types of data to be considered:
"Patient Education: Recovery After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)
(Beyond the Basics)"
Calculate the descriptive statistics of the presented values and consider a course of
action based on the results.
Data Warehouse - answer-A business intelligence analyst at a multistate healthcare
system is developing reports for clinical quality-improvement projects and best
practice guideline development. The best practice guidelines will be used across the
entire multistate system.
Which type of database should be used to gather and analyze data for the reports
needed?
Data Warehouses - answer-But, they want to be able to share their data among all of
their facilities. They would have a data warehouse into which all of these different
technologies could be loaded, and a common language standard would be used in
order for all of these different systems to "talk" to each other, to "translate" the data
into a common language.
By doing this, data could be pulled from all sources for reports and stats. Data
warehouses are critical to the success of analytics, because they hold huge amounts
