WGU
The ED manager is concerned with pediatric patients being
treating on evening and night shifts. Parents often wait long
hours for their child to be seen due to trauma patients having
first priority. Staff has complained about inefficiency in care.
Hospital administration directed the ED manager to analyze data
on children being treated from 7 pm to 8 am in the ED for the
past year, to determine if these children could have been seen in
the outpatient clinic. Consideration is being given to expanding
clinic hours and cost effectiveness of doing so. How will
descriptive statistics be used to support a decision to expand
clinic hours?
Data will identify if children's diagnosis would appropriately be
treated at the clinic.

The word means to "put in order." It can be measured as a
frequency, and the mean of ordinal data is often calculated. In
healthcare might include patient satisfaction surveys using a
Likert scale.
Ordinal Data
Essential for comparing data across systems, especially among
patients with varying co-morbid diseases and complex treatment
modalities. Multivariate regression analyses can be used to
analyze and ___________. This analysis model looks at each
measured factor to the patient's risk of a particular outcome.
Risk Adjustment
Is used with interval and ordinal scale data and determines the
extent to which a change in one variable tends to be associated
with a change in another.
Pearson's Correlation Test
,3|Page
Determines the amount of variance in a set of data and evaluates
the degree to which each case deviates from the average, or
mean.
Standard Deviation (SD)
Is the factor that is directly manipulated by the researchers. The
dependent ________ is the measurable ________ that depends on
the independent ____________.
Variable
Helps the researcher to compare whether two groups have
different average values. A paired ____________ is used when each
observation in one group is paired with a related observation in
another.
t-test
, 4|Page
When used in the healthcare environment, it provides a
____________ score (probability) for each patient or groups of
patients, in order to determine, inform, and influence
organizational processes that pertain to large numbers of
individuals.
Predictive analytics
Is a tool to plot the frequency and number of cases and is useful
to identify areas of high variance.
Histogram
Normal ___________ visually reflects a well-formed bell curve.
Variation may appear to be skewed outside the normal
distribution and require additional testing for statistical
significance.
Distribution and deviations
