Analytical Methods of Health Leaders (set 5)
100% Accurate!!
Databases - ANSWER-Captures data to help support the organization's analysis and comparison of
safety, quality, effectiveness, efficacy, timelines, and efficiency of actual care and services delivered
to the patient over time.
Data Warehouses - ANSWER-Data form multiple transaction systems. Can be used to distinguish large
trends in data from multiple souces.
Errors - ANSWER-Incorrect application of a statistical test can result in a type 1 error which, which
occurs when a null hypothesis is rejected when it should have been accepted. A type 2 error occurs
when the alternative hypothesis is rejected when it should be accepted.
Transaction Systems - ANSWER-Divide data according to individual operations. The data stored by
transaction systems is granular and based on specialized systems.
Disease Registries - ANSWER-A hybrid between transaction systems and data warehouses, are
designed for tracking explicitly-defined data at a case-specific level. For example, trauma registries to
track emergency department data; cancer registries, immunizations registries, and numerous others.
Hierarchical Database Model - ANSWER-Similar to a layout of a \n organizational chart. Good for data
storage but not versatile. One to many relationship of data. Access to data starts at the top of the
hierarchy and moves downward.
Object Oriented Database - ANSWER-Handles text, images, audio, video, and other objects.
De-Identified Database - ANSWER-Removing all identifying patient information.
Multi-Dimensional Database - ANSWER-Hybrid between hierarchical and relational. Captures
benefits of both so that large amounts of data can be processed quickly. Used for large amounts of
data in a short amount of time.
Outcome Evaluation - ANSWER-focuses on the end result of the program
