Analyze the use of statistics in the health industry (hospital) or daily life. What new ways could statistics be incorporated into the health industry (hospital) or future career field or daily life? Are there ways in which you could improve processes in your current or future career field or daily life using these techniques (related to statistics)? Give specific examples and suggestions.
The hospitals used statistics by statistical trends and trails identification,health care providers can monitor local conditions andd compare them to states,national and international trends.Health statisitics provide empirical data to assist in the allocation of public and private funds and help to determine how research funds should be focussed.Stastical methods used in the analysis of hospital stastical data by two methods of analysis were carried out for each of the outcomes.The first one is before and fter analysis. In this graphs have been produced illustrating changes in A and E attendance and admission in intervention practises before and after the introduction of the intervention. These superposed epoch analysis calculate the time relative to the intervention launch date for each month individually for each practice.These graphs in which the introduction of the system in each practice is set as time zero. Second one is regression analysis were performed for each outcome looking for step changes at time when the intervention was introduced and for a change in the preceeding trend such as sloowing down for previous increase.
The main analysis was conducted on intention to treat basis which includes all practises identified by the commercial companies even when the companies informed us that the practice were running a hybrid form of the system or were no longer running the system.A sensitivity analyst were also done to restricting the anlaysis to practice in which believed on the basis of information provided by the commercial companies ,that the system being run consistent with companies protocol.Hospital statistics uses for measuring of evaluation of quality of care,helps in planning and to identify deficiencies at various level and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of administration.
The new ways in which hospital system can better use health analytics in order to get the most out of information are use analytic for clinical decision support by having all medical tests,lab reports and prescribed medications for patients on one electronic dashboard can significantly improve the ways clinical make decision about their patients while at the same time cutting costs for organisation ,for example if all the important information is on the electronic dashboard clinician can easily see what need to get done for patients and what already been done.They can then make decision right on the spot.The other one is cut down of fraud and abuse which means that significant amount of money is lost in the health care industry due to fraud and abuse.and it is important for organisation to use analytics for insight into patient information and what physician are doing for their patients. Another one is use analytics to help cut down administrative cost means that to reduce administrative cost which is one of the really one of the biggest challenges we face in industry.one fourth of all health care budget expenses are going to be administrative costs because need human resource in order to perform. And the last one is use analytics for improved patient wellness means that analytics helps health care organisations remind patients to keep up with a healthy lifestyle as well as keep track of where a patient stands in regards to their lifestyle choices ,for example - Analytics can be used to provide information on ways a certain patient can modify his or her lifestyle and this makes a patient health a huge priority and donot think people will mind be reminded to tae care of themslves.
And These ways which can definitely improve process in the future carrier field.
