HC 471 - Healthcare Data Collection, Analysis and Systems

Credits 3
This course will teach students to analyze information by examining the relationships, patterns, and trends that the data might uncover. Students will learn to subject data to statistical operations that reveal not only what kinds of relationships seem to exist among variables, but also the degree of confidence the data might provide. Students will learn to compare data information to that from other groups (a control or comparison group, statewide figures, etc.), and how to draw conclusions from the data. The focus will be to obtain an accurate assessment in order to better understand data and its effects on those who may be concerned with outcomes or in order to better understand health inequities and disparities.
