to make quality decisions
Information drives dicisions for...
•For all Health Care Providers (HCP) •For Clients/Patients •For Consumers •For Businesses
Descriptive data analysis: use of spreadsheet
-Data in correct format (categorical data coded with numbers, use of codebook) -Formulas -Numbers for statistical formula defined and added to argument -Display of results -Graphical presentation of data
Relevance of Data Integrity
-Documented/charted information on a client record is depended on for decision making -To reduce errors and ensure the accuracy of data -To reduce errors and ensure client/patient safety -Data must be verified
why business intelligence?
-Increase efficiency -Increase consumer satisfaction -Capture larger market share
Simulation in Nursing: Docucare
-Record and reflect on patient data -Analyze data in real time and over time -Discuss patient outcomes and improvements to care -Practice effective documentation in real time to increase time management skills
Verification may be flawed if the patient...
-Responds without understanding the question -Does not speak the same language
Simulation in Nursing: Virtual Simulation
-Role play -Case Studies -Avatar game mode
Use of technology today
-Statistical analysis of research increasing in complexity due to availability of personal computer and statistical analysis programs -Commercial statistical programs >Statistical Package for Social Sciences >Statistical Analysis Software >Minitab Statistical Software -Microsoft Excel and Quattro Pro -Free programs on the Internet (BrightStat) -Online resources
Roles of business intelligence
-Understand why buyers make purchases -Simulation -Predict future trends -If/then statements -Describe past trends -Using data mining
Data Analysis: Use of specially designed program (BrightStat)
-Variables for analysis -Statistical procedures (including more statistical analyses) -Graphics -Graphs
How do we verify data with a patient?
-Verbally -On-screen or printout review
Simulation
-an imitation of a possible situation >used to understand what influences peoples' decisions EX: •Does the student consider the problem from multiple angles? •When does the student recognize the need for more information? •Where does the student get the information? •Does the student use the information ethically?
spreadsheet software
1.Enter text data 2.Use for lists and copying 3.Use tabs to organize data 4.Sort and alphabetize of data 5.Use for simple calculations of numbers
Data Mining
A mathematical rule in software to analyze large amounts of data and discover patterns and relationships Ex: -Risk factors for diabetes >Relationship between obesity and Type II diabetes -Infection control >An increase in hand washing decreases spread of bacteria
Business Intelligence
Data/information are used as the basis for decisions that make a business successful
