"A Practical Approach to Analyzing Healthcare Data," Fourth Edition, offers guidance to healthcare professionals and health information management (HIM) students on how to best analyze, categorize, and manage the data that they encounter in an industry becoming ever more dependent on these tasks. With expanded and reorganized content on statistical analysis techniques, and new content on value-based purchasing (VBP) analytics and risk adjustment, this text applies broader principles of data evaluation specifically to the field of HIM. Updated and augmented online resources give professionals and students access to actual data sets and data analysis tools to use in their studies, and an Analysis in Practice section added to each chapter facilitates hands-on experience working with data.
