Public Health Problem II: Examine the association between health
provider burnout and hospital re-admissions. Hypothesis: Health
care provider burnout increases the likelihood of hospital
re-admissions for patients
This will be a retrospective cohort study to determine if there’s a
correlation between provider burnout and an increase likelihood of
hospital re-admissions for patients
we will measure instances of patient readmissions with a group of
hospital providers that are staffed appropriately and with an
abundance of resources vs a group of providers who are overwhelmed,
understaffed and under resourced
Describe potential threats to validity. Describe what techniques
you will use to minimize each threat. Be sure to delineate the
potential impact of each threat on your observed results
- Nondifferential misclassification of the exposure
- Nondifferential misclassification of the disease
- Confounding
- Selection bias
- Information bias
- Generalizability
