AHIMA

As healthcare continues to be data-driven, data analysis grows more vital to an organization's success. This meeting reviews the skills needed to perform data analysis, ranging from database design to presenting analyzed results. Attendees should plan to bring a laptop to be able to fully participate.

This program will include a hands-on analysis of a case study using publicly available data from HCUP-Net. The case study follows an analytic project from the development of the study population through the creation of presentations summarizing the results of the analysis. Please refer to the AHRQ Fact Book for a summarization of hospitalizations in the United States using HCUP data. The case study will examine similar types of questions about hospitalized patients for a specific topic.

Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint will be useful.
