UPDATE) ANALYTICAL METHODS OF HEALTHCARE
LEADERS| QS & AS| GRADE A| 100% CORRECT
(VERIFIED ANSWERS)
Sensitivity Analysis - ANS ✓Examples of this is: When used in clinical trials, it is
the increasing of a dose of a new drug in a small increment, to look for changes
and strengthen any conclusions
Factor Analysis - ANS ✓Process in which the values of observed data are
expressed as functions of a number of possible causes in order to find which are
the most important.
Risk Stratification - ANS ✓Used to classify patients into level of risk
Stratification Analysis - ANS ✓The process of dividing a population into
homogenous subgroups before sampling. Allows for the examination of specific
characteristics within each subgroup, providing more nuanced insights into the
overall population
Cross Sectional Research - ANS ✓Type of observational study. Analyzes data
collected from a population or subset, at a specific time and point.
Pre and Post Test - ANS ✓Test before and after an intervention
Time Series Analysis - ANS ✓Methods for analyzing time series data in order to
extract meaningful statistics and other data characteristics.
Longitudinal Study - ANS ✓Involves repeated observations of the same
variables over long periods of time.

WGU
Regression Analysis - ANS ✓A statistical process used to estimate relationships
among variables. It involves modeling and analyzing multiple variables,
especially the relationship between a dependent and independent. Can include
multiple predictors simultaneously to assess their combined impact on the
dependent variable.
Predictive Modeling - ANS ✓A process used to identify patterns in data that can
be leveraged to predict the likelihood of a particular outcome. Involves using
current data to make forecasts about future events.
Cohort Study - ANS ✓Establishing Links between risk factors and health
outcomes.
Prospective or Retrospective - ANS ✓Looking forward or backwards. Studies a
cohort of individuals that share a common exposure factor to determine its
influence on the development of disease, and are compared with another group
of equivalent individuals that were not exposed to the factor
Literature Review - ANS ✓Analyzing articles written by experts
Systematic Review - ANS ✓Gather all available empirical research to obtain
answers to a specific question
Meta-Analysis - ANS ✓A method of systematically combining qualitative and
quantitative data from multiple studies to derive a single, more robust conclusion
with enhanced statistical power. It involves the use of statistical techniques to
analyze aggregated data, often leading to informed decision making and chages
in treatment
Standard Deviation - ANS ✓Measures variability that describes the deviation
from the average of a frequency distribution
