Kobie Lee Western Governors University C257 February 19th, 2017 A. 1. Aggregate data can be used to detect patterns or similarities from numerous groups of patients which help healthcare providers determine plan of care or prevention of illnesses and better management of disease processes. Aggregate data can help patients and physicians keep track of vital signs and blood sugar on a daily basis so if there is a need for a different dose or type of medication, it is caught and corrected early. Aggregate data can also be used in research as specific information can easily be drawn from a large data bank for analytics and research purposes. Disadvantages of aggregate data include some patients not being able to interpret the information gathered and sometimes platforms for which patients may use to access their information may not be user friendly which in turn limits patient’s participation in their …show more content…
Advantages of comparative data according to Cerrato,P (2013) include completing tasks like “comparing the benefits of diuretics to ACE inhibitors among patients with hypertension”, where with the help of comparative data researchers or clinicians are able to compare data points for a vast number of records. Comparative data can also be used to track historical data in clinical settings such as rates of nosocomial infections patients’ contract and help hospital staff and administrators determine if corrective plans and action implemented over time are working towards reducing such infections. Powel, Davis and Thomson (2003) state that in clinical settings … “The logic underlying an analysis of routine comparative data is that it is possible to make attributions of causality between services provided and the observed quality measures”. This is one of the disadvantages of comparative data. Furthermore due to the strict guidelines regarding how information used in research/clinical trials are gathered, the use of comparative data in such instances could be
The universal serial bus is an adapter, flash drive, and a data storage device. It got first usage in 1996 but did not get widespread usage until introduction of the iMac in 1998. The most recent version of the USB is 3.0 that has a higher data transfer rate and is backward compatible to previous USB versions. The adapter allows for plugging into electronic devices with a USB port thereby providing additional capability and connectivity. The USB flash drive provides additional storage and memory capability for a computer. Two most useful factors of the USB is the smaller size (about 1.1 oz) and ability to plug right into a technology device (mobile computers). Almost all computers and mobile devices today comes with at least one USB port and they are very simple connection points. Also USB ports can be found in

Product production comes with many types of costs. Four of the most common costs are prevention costs, appraisal costs, internal failure costs and external failure costs. These four costs are called quality costs and are costs that all businesses that produce products will pay. The amount of money that will go to each cost is dependent on the amount spent on the other costs. In other words, an increase in one type of cost can result in a decrease in another. Businesses need to understand the nature of each cost in order to understand for which cost to budget.

Communicating with Families in Domain 4 is a professional goal I would like to work on to advance my profession as a teacher. This is a goal that I have little to no experience with and feel that I would fall in between the categories of unsatisfactory to basic of this domain. Recently I have the opportunity to be the lead teacher in my practicum class, during this time I had two different parents who came in and volunteered.

In Task 2, the owner is correct in his need to move away from a sole proprietorship and into an entity where his personal assets will be shielded in the event of a business failure.

Once data is collected it can be used by numerous health care providers and decision makers to monitor the health and needs of individuals and populations, as well as contribute to the analysis of the health system. Users including hospitals, health care practitioners, government, professional associations, researchers, media, students, and the general public.
