Discussion Post: Dependent and Independent Variables

Topic I: Dependent and Independent Variables

Now that you have read and discussed health care statistics, consider how dependent and independent variables are analyzed in health care to aid quality assurance. Using the Capella library, find a peer-reviewed article or study that compares the relationship between two variables. Explain the two variables being used and the statistical tests that were used to analyze the relationship between the variables.

Start your post by stating the study results in statistical terms and then describe the study, variables, and tests used. (For example: A Spearman rank test found an increase in total dissolved solids (mg/L) in ground water was strongly associated with an increase in uranium concentration (ppb), rs, (23) = .708, p <.0005.)

Topic II: Usable Information

For this discussion, consider how data are analyzed and presented in a health care organization. Discuss 2-3 current methods for transforming statistical outputs into usable information for managers across the whole organization.
