Making Changes Based on Statistics

Select a healthcare-related statistical sampling (e.g., re-admissions for hip surgery patients, false claims violations, compliance with meaningful use, etc.).

**I was thinking anything pertaining to meaningful use *

Analyze the most current data with previous data and evaluate the trends.

Use the following websites as resources:

• National Center for Health Statistics
• United States Census Bureau
• Medicare.gov

Direct the presentation to an organization’s chief executive officer (CEO).

Examine the following in your presentation: 

Did the rates change? Why or why not?

What factors influenced the change?

What was compliance’s role in monitoring the area selected?

What changes to an organization would you advise?
