esearch the forms of data
used in the system of your choice. This system could be your own health care
organization, the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital found in the University of
Phoenix Virtual Organizations, or an organization from the course readings.

Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft®
PowerPoint® presentation, including detailed speaker notes, that
identifies the forms of data collected and used in your chosen system. Include
at least one slide per form of data.

Answer the following questions:

  • Where do the data come
    from, such as outside test results?
  • Where do the data
    go—patient record, printer, physician folder, or other destination?
  • How are the different forms
    of data used?
  • What is the importance of
    each form of data?
  • What kinds of data does the
    organization send out, such as quality measures, patient billing, purchase
    orders, and so forth?
  • What security measures are
    taken to protect the data?
  • What kinds of data do
    senior executives want mined?
  • What do they use the data
    for?
  • Who mines the data and who
    uses it?
  • What kinds of statistics
    are used to validate the data?

Develop a statistical validation as an example by

mining some data from the system of your choice, graphing it, explaining it,
and discussing why it is important.
