"Statistical Applications for Health Information Management, Second Edition covers the basic biostatistics, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics that are unique to health information management (HIM). This text provides the essential theory while emphasizing practical applications that health information management professionals use in the real world every day." "New topics and features include: a discussion of percentiles and their use in benchmarking; an example "abbreviated" hospital database that allows students to reinforce statistical theory in practical applications; examples of data collection using ICD-10; exercises that apply statistical knowledge to real world examples; development of models to predict length of stay; and how to compare an organization's performance with state and national benchmarks."--BOOK JACKET.
