Leveraging Informatics In The Health Sector.

This assessment directs you to analyze the uses for health data with the purpose of improving health care policies and operations. Raw data doesn’t say much to most people, but through data analysis, information can be extracted and used to “tell the story” of a particular patient population.

Select or generate a dataset that is meaningful to you and your interests in the health care industry by using one of the links below:

Evaluate the dataset and determine how valuable it is for improving health care operations or policies. This will require the creation of a chart or graph to interpret the data.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word report with your evaluation of the dataset and what value can be gained from it. Include the following:

The source of the data
Why the data is important
A detailed chart or graph to interpret the data
What trends the data documents
What changes in operations or policies can be made to improve quality or efficiency

Cite 3 reputable references to support your report (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
