Question

Based on the Topic: "Does the implementation of health informatics increase the level of care given to patients?"

Design a basic study (fake/made up study) in which you could analyze your data using an ANOVA.

Who are the subjects?

What are the independent and dependent variables?

How would you report your results?

How could you redesign the study as a repeated-measures ANOVA?

How could you redesign the study as an ANCOVA?

Answer 1

1.The most important way in which health informatics changing the health care in a better way.Electronic medical records result in higher quality care and safer care as coordinated teams provide better diagnoses and decrease the chance for errors.

2.Design of basic study
*A study to determine whether how long a student sleeps affects test scores in a selected college at selected place.

3.Subjects
*students at selected college who are writing the test

4.Independent variable-length of time spent for sleep
*Dependent variable-test score

5.Reporting the results
*once data collected,it will be analysed and interpret the results.Analysis will include data summaries (calculating means and variances) and statistical tests to verify conclusions.

6.repeated measures ANOVA is the equilent of the one-way ANOVA,but for related,not independent groups,and is the extension of the dependent t-test.A repeated measures ANOVA is also referred to as a within -subects ANOVA or ANOVA for correlated samples.

7.the analysis of covariance is a combination of an ANOVA and a regression analysis.In basic terms ,the ANCOVA examines the influence of an independent variable while removing the effects of the covariate factor.
