Basic Allied Health Statistics and Analysis 5th Edition by Lorie Darche/Gerda Koch
Quick Navigation

Overview

BASIC ALLIED HEALTH STATISTICS AND ANALYSIS, 5th Edition explains the practical statistics health information managers use to help hospitals and clinical facilities evaluate and improve standards of patient care. Designed to align with CAHIIM curriculum standards, the reorganized 5th Edition poses realistic health care problems to students, then creates opportunities to analyze and interpret data with common statistical formulas and approaches. In addition to basic math and stats, this text helps readers understand the significance of collective, health-related data such as vital statistics and mortality rates, census and occupancy rates and community health. And, to promote deeper understanding, chapters feature hands-on case studies and practice problems, supporting examples and figures, and even a blank section for note-taking.
