C803_Task_1_Data_Types_and_Structures_R2.docx C803 Data Types and Structures Western Governors University Application: Three types of Data Aggregate Data: Used to develop information about groups of patients. This allows healthcare professionals to identify commonalities that may predict the course of a disease or provide information to effectively treat the disease. This is done through patient interviews, research, and statistical data. (Gaspar, 2015) ï‚·Similarities: This data is similar to comparative data, in the fact that it cannot be traced back to the specific patient. It contains many details about a specific event that can be used with other data to quantify reports. ï‚·Differences: This type of data cannot be traced back to a specific patient. Typically, a health facility will deal with this kind of data to generate reports and indicators, and strategic planning within the health system. Comparative Data: This data is routinely collected and analyzed quantitatively. The data is typically complex information, consisting of information from a large number of healthcare providers. The information gathered is compared with multiple technical and medical quality attributes. (JH. Hibbard et al., 1970) ï‚·Similarities: Comparative is similar to aggregate, in that it is not limited to one patient, but the data is tracked across time, organizations, patient populations, and other variables. (Ryan & Thompson, 2002) ï‚·Differences: Comparative data is different in that it is anonymous, and it gathers and br. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
