Instructions: This discussion will be completed in two parts and will give you an opportunity to reflect upon this week’s content and to interact with your classmates.

• Part 1 – Post your initial response to the discussion questions by Thursday at 11:59 pm
• Part 2 – Post substantive feedback to two (2) classmates by Sunday at 11:59 pm

Part 1 Initial Post: Contribute a substantive initial posting that demonstrates critical thinking and understanding of the subject matter presented. Health Information technology is in a rapid and constant state of evolution. This means that the working environment is changing at the same pace that the technology evolves. Change can have a dramatic impact on people and process, and therefore we refer to the HIM professionals as being agents of change. For your initial response, discuss the impact that this rapid and constant state of change can have on a healthcare organization and it employees. Furthermore, discuss what it means to be an agent of change and the importance of being able to manage and drive change in the industry.

Create a scenario that includes a procedure from the measurement and monitoring section of the ICD-10-PCS book. Then provide the procedure code that would be used for the procedure and describe the process for finding the code in the ICD-10-PCS book.

Using online resources, locate three (3) healthcare databases and compare them for the type of information they contain and how it could be used in healthcare? Who owns and maintains these databases and how often they are updated? Are there restrictions to database management techniques and utilization? What are they? Could they be overcome? What kind of organizational knowledge can be created applying the database management techniques you defined? 

The post could be made in a form of a table. 

Respond to a minimum of two of your peers with a substantive comment assessing the listed limitations and their negation strategies. Follow APA formatting, referencing credible evidence.  Only one outside source is allowed. Use the content of this class as the main source of evidence. 

What information does a hypothesis test provide versus a confidence interval? How is this utilized in health care research? Provide a workplace example that illustrates your ideas. If you are not currently working in health care, to answer this question, research a local hospital or health care organization and provide an example of how they utilize inferential statistics.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

This week you are leaning about the hypothesis testing method in statistics. This process starts out by stating the null and alternative hypotheses. Review the terms in https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/statistics.html, to answer these questions.

Think of a research study that you would like to conduct at your current or future place of employment. In designing your research question, describe the null and alternative hypotheses. What would type I and type II errors look like in this hypothetical situation? Identify if this was a one-tailed or a two-tailed test?

Example: It is hypothesized that a follow-up phone call 2 weeks after discharge will improve patient compliance with the aftercare protocol.

Null Hypothesis: Communication with the patient 2 weeks after discharge will not change the compliance of patient aftercare protocol.

Alternative Hypothesis: Communication with the patient 2 weeks after discharge will improve compliance of patient aftercare protocol.

Type I Error: A type I error could occur if the data suggest an effect of the postdischarge phone call when there was not improvement in compliance of the aftercare protocol.

Type II Error: A type II error could have occurred if the data suggest that there was no improvement in compliance of the aftercare protocol when in fact there was an improvement.

One- or Two-Tailed Test: This is a one-tailed test because the researchers are predicting an increase in compliance of the aftercare protocol.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.
