Statistics play an important role in the management of health care organizations and in decision making and strategic planning. Collecting, analyzing, and utilizing data appropriately impacts financial management of the organization and the quality of patient care delivered. Decisions in clinical medicine are driven by evidence-based practice, as are those in health care management. A health care manager must understand and use evidence in making informed decisions that improve the operations and financial status of the organization as well as deliver quality of care accessible to those who need it and with consideration of the costs involved.

In this assignment, you will choose a utilization review statistic from the following list and review a research  or government publication, as outlined below.

Choose a health care statistic that health care managers would use, such as one of the following:

  • Hospital-acquired condition (HAC)
  • Emergency department visits
  • Labor and delivery suite usage
  • Ambulatory surgery procedures
  • Hospital death rates
  • Cesarean-section rate
  • Wait time
  • Adverse drug events

Research your chosen statistic, and provide information from an outside source—such as a journal article, accreditation agency report, government site, and so forth—that discusses the health care statistic in a real-life setting or situation.

 in APA format that discusses the following:

  • What was the reason for the research that was performed or for the data being collected?
  • What was the source of the data presented?
  • What types of descriptive statistics and graphical representations of data were used?
  • What were the research question(s) and the significant findings of the article?
  • How could the information presented be used to inform decisions or improvements?

Cite references using APA format, and remember to include a citation for the article that you are describing.

Interdisciplinary teams

/in /by

We have now learned about a number of different careers in Health Professions. What should be evident is that no one in health works alone. Interdisciplinary teams are key to providing good care for patients. An interdisciplinary team is ” a group of healthcare providers from different fields who work together or toward the same goal to provide the best care or best outcome for a patient or group of patients.” 

In 2 paragraphs (3-5 sentences each) please describe an interdisciplinary healthcare team as you envision it. Be specific, list 4 different healthcare professionals you would see treating a patient in the hospital. (You can decide the illness the patient has to give you freedom to be creative with your team. ) Then describe their role on the team and how they work together.
