This document presents two real-world case studies for HIM 220, Healthcare Leadership and Professional Practices at Hagerstown Community College. It’s designed as an assignment to apply statistical concepts learned in Chapter 14, focusing on healthcare statistics.
This assignment is likely used to assess a student’s ability to analyze patient data and interpret statistical results within a healthcare setting. It’s intended for students preparing for leadership roles in Health Information Management. The cases require calculations and analysis, but this preview only shows the initial data and questions.
This document does *not* provide solutions or detailed explanations of how to perform the calculations. It also doesn’t include the full context of the course material or broader leadership principles. Students will need the full chapter content and potentially external resources to complete the assignment successfully.
This assignment provides: two case studies – one involving MS-DRG analysis and length of stay, and another focused on infection rates and Joint Commission survey preparation – along with specific calculations to perform related to patient demographics, charges, and lengths of stay. It also includes a table of patient data for Case 14.1 and a starting point for analyzing surgery patient data in Case 14.2. This preview *does not* include the completed calculations or any analysis of the data.
