Suppose you work at a local state hospital. In 2015, the infectious disease department of the hospital was operating at max capacity. Your supervisor has given you the job of presenting to the hospital leadership board about the number of patients who contracted infections while at 30 different hospitals in your state in 2015. The board will use your findings to make informed decisions about possible expansion of the infectious disease department. You will review the data, create visuals for the data, and create a presentation for the hospital leadership board to help with the decision.
