C813 Task 1
INTRODUCTION
Healthcare statistics are integral in keeping track of operational changes in a healthcare organization. Appropriate research methods
ensure that the data retrieved via query meet the reporting needs for key stakeholders. While gathering data, it is equally important that
health information management (HIM) staff adheres to ethical guidelines. The collection of pertinent data via research plays a key role
in process improvement in the clinical and operational environment.
SCENARIO
Felder Community Hospital is
a 600-bed facility that serves a large metropolitan area. Senior management requires all departments to
implement quarterly training for their staff members. As the director of the HIM department, you are responsible for quarterly training
of the HIM supervisors on statistical data that affect patient outcomes. As part of the upcoming training, you plan to train your
management staff on how to analyze morbidity statistics for the months of May, June, and July. The attached “Statistics for Felder
Community Hospital” provides the statistics for the hospital for this three-month period. You plan to explain how statistical data can
be used to identify trends and possibly improve patient outcomes. You also plan to provide staff training on the American Health
Information Management Association (AHIMA) Code of Ethics and how its principles apply specifically to data integrity and the use
of statistical patient data for organizational research.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match
to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report
that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate
your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks
to relevant portions of the course.
A.
Discuss health information data
measurement by doing the
following:
1.
Explain the differences between
discrete and continuous data in
health information research.
You will want to have a nice paragraph discussing the differences here. Healthcare examples included
Pg.358 HIM Concepts, Principles, Practice
2. Provide
one
example from
healthcare of
each
of the
following scales of
measurement:
• nominal
• ordinal
• interval
• ratio
Make sure that your examples are healthcare related. You can find a lot of great information in
your text to help with this area.

Community Hospital LOS
Regression Analysis”
supporting documents by

of stay (ALOS) of discharged
patients for the months of

months
B7- Pick 2 here to describe the relationship
B8-Make sure to relate this to Felder.
B9-Review the attached task document to provide your explanation
C.
