Hospitals today work with continually decreasing margins while trying to improve their quality of care. Evaluating cost, quality, safety, and patient experience are critical aspects of care, but without proper statistical evaluation, hospitals and care providers can easily be misguided. This practical book covers important features of healthcare statistics with applied examples in Python.
Author Michael Korvink, a principal data scientist for Premier Healthcare Alliance, provides key characteristics of hypothesis testing, regression analysis, risk standardization, and other common analytical techniques used in interpretable analysis of healthcare quality, safety, and efficiency. This book is ideal for beginner data analysts, data scientists, business analysts, statisticians, and public health and epidemiology researchers.
