Forms of data in health care.

Research the forms of data



used in the system of your choice. This system could be your own health care



organization, the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital found in the University of



Phoenix Virtual Organizations, or an organization from the course readings.

  Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft^®



PowerPoint^® presentation, including detailed speaker notes, that



identifies the forms of data collected and used in your chosen system. Include



at least one slide per form of data.

 Answer the following questions:

• Where do the data come
  
  
  
  from, such as outside test results?
• Where do the data
  
  
  
  go—patient record, printer, physician folder, or other destination?
• How are the different forms
  
  
  
  of data used?
• What is the importance of
  
  
  
  each form of data?
• What kinds of data does the
  
  
  
  organization send out, such as quality measures, patient billing, purchase
  
  
  
  orders, and so forth?
• What security measures are
  
  
  
  taken to protect the data?
• What kinds of data do
  
  
  
  senior executives want mined?
• What do they use the data
  
  
  
  for?
• Who mines the data and who
  
  
  
  uses it?
• What kinds of statistics
  
  
  
  are used to validate the data?

Develop a statistical validation as an example by



mining some data from the system of your choice, graphing it, explaining it,



and discussing why it is important
