Learning Statistics is easy to follow like

ABC Once you research the

importance of how information will work


• How to begin understanding the Elements of the Nation’s Health Statistics Systems?

• Who has used health statistics?• How have their information needs been?

– Successful training and understanding– What are the some of the main challenges ?

• Technical, Operational, Resources, etc while producing health statistics• Are health statistics fully utilized, or considered as been fully utilized by

staff• Has the information needs to be fully utilized according to whatever

program are trained with?


• How to begin understanding the Elements of the Nation’s Health Statistics Systems (Cont.)

– Training personnel with the right program– Familiarization with programs

• The various producers of health data and statistics collectively comprise the nation’s health statistics systems

Many of us see ourselves like we are in an environment as a mechanics, secretaries, physicians, and computer geeks in an effort to learn the right

program in an effort to protect patient’s information, company and ourselves.


• Many programs are been used in an effort to give reliable information to understand and work with health informatics.

• We can see these by the many statistical studies such as In an AHRQ-funded study within a primary care internal medicine clinic, 13 guidelines were incorporated into the COSTAR program to remind physicians to perform specific screening and preventive measures


Preventive/screening measure

1992 (baseline)

1993 1997

Cholesterol 72% 88% 89% Papsmear 64% 69% 75% Mammogram 63% 66% 70% Breast exam 77% 81% 72% Breast exam instructions 8% 38% 41% Testicular exam 48% 59% 67% Rectal exam 38% 72% 67% Fecal occult blood 78% 74% 60% Flu vaccine 69% 67% 63% Pneumovax 58% 65% 55% Measles 19% 24% 12% Tetanus (TB) 7% 18% 23% Rubella 4% 19% 14%

ambulatory care practice percent (in clinic)

(Morgan, et al 1998):


•we can see that many areas in statistics have been able to

give us necessary information since the early 1970s to see what

areas need to be address as the times have changed to electronic

health information. Even though time continues to change we can

get the information and work with it.

•As we continue to discuss and learn what healthcare

informatics is all about in the medical field we will continue to

grow in a business that is here to stay. We are going to look like

this picture to be able to work the diversity of the many medical

programs that are around the globe in effort to use the correct

one in an event to protect humanity.
