Analysis of one predetermines data element

Perform an analysis of one predetermines data element (Informatics, Analytics, and Data Use)

Have a discussion with your Practicum Director (or designee) to identify one quality indicator for analysis.  For example, the selected quality indicator could be a data element such as the number of days after discharge until the physician signed the discharge summary.  Your data element may be an element of the chart audit.  It is recommended that you compile information on your data element while you perform your chart audits (PO #2).  Analyze the information you have gathered and provide a summary.  Your summary should identify what you have learned about the data element.  It should also reference the chart/graph you have created for PO #4.  For example, does the data show the organization is in compliance (remember back to the HIT226 course project), or have you identified a trend (positive or negative), etc.

chart/graph. (Informatics, Analytics, and Data Use)

Use the results you have gathered on your data element and create a chart or graph.  Your chart or graph should be applicable to the type of data you are displaying and follow the proper guidelines for presenting information.  Your graph/chart should tie directly to your summary in PO #3.
