Analytical Methods of Healthcare Leaders - D514 Verified Answers
In conversations with her patients, a physical therapist notices that patients who are on Workman's
Compensation and have supportive supervisors, eager for them to return to work, have more positive
outcomes in rehabilitation than those patients whose supervisors have a negative attitude toward their
employee's injury: insisting they not return to work until they are at 100% because if anything less they
are "useless to the job".
What type of test could the therapist use to see if these two factors have a measurable relationship?
Linear regression
Data analysts at a large metropolitan hospital need to determine risk factors associated with
readmission within 30 days via the hospital's emergency room among patients with COPD. The variables
of interest include age, gender, race/ethnicity, insurance status, and family support. Which statistical
technique should be used?
Regression analysis
Several community health centers across a rural state are gathering data on their pre-diabetic patients
and using A1c levels as a baseline measurement to include patients in a research project. Three different
interventions will be applied.
One group of patients will receive a special diet to follow; the second group will work with physical
therapists on a regular exercise program; the third group will follow the diet and engage in the exercise.
Which statistical test will be appropriate to use to determine which treatment is most effective in
controlling pre-diabetes?
ANOVA
A hospital CFO is analyzing the cost benefits of using the patient reminder system, which was
implemented over a year ago, to see if the automated system results in less missed appointments ("no-
shows").
She is comparing quarterly reports from this past year on volume of patients who did not show up to
their appointments, to the volume of patients of the previous year, who did not show up to their
appointments, to see if the automated system has proven effective. She is considering other variables as
she reviews the data, but is primarily analyzing the number of "no-show" patients from last year's
quarterly reports to this year's.
time series
There are two standard treatments for children with ADHD who display a specific set of characteristics.
One treatment is a cognitive behavioral intervention, and the other is a dietary and biomedical
intervention. Both treatments have equally strong clinical evidence supporting their efficacy. A
researcher proposes a comparison of the two interventions to determine which is preferable. The
children will be randomized to one of two groups: half of the children will receive the cognitive
, behavioral intervention and the other half of the children will receive the dietary and biomedical
intervention. Which test is appropriate to determining the preferable treatment?
Cross-sectional
The vice president, CMO, and Operations Team collected data on resources used by patients who have
undergone coronary bypass and the length of stays for a defined population of patients who received
CABG surgery. Since the raw data is complex to discuss and evaluate, the team will use descriptive
statistics to analyze the data to support their decisions for recommendations.
Which of the following descriptive statistics could prove the most useful?
The mean (average) length of stay and
The mean number of providers seeing each patient each day
