Different Type of Census
What is a census?
What is the number of inpatient present in a healthcare facility at any given time.
What is Utilization Management?
What is a program that evaluates the healthcare facility's efficiency in providing necessary care to patients in the most effective manner.
what is a bar graph?
What is a graphic technique used to display frequency distributions of nominal or ordinal data that fall into categories
What is continuous data?
What is data that represent measurable quantities but are not restricted to certain specified values.
What is data mining?
What is the process of extracting and analyzing large volumes of data from a database for the purpose of identifying hidden and sometimes subtle relationships or patterns and using those relationship to predict behaviors.
What is the average daily inpatient census?
What is the mean number of hospital inpatient present in the hospital each day for a giving period of time.
What is the Length of stay?
What is the total number of patient days for an inpatient episode, calculated by substracting the date of admission from the date of discharge.
What is a pie chart?
What is a graphic technique in which the proportions of a category are displayed as portions of a circle (like pieces of a pie)
What is discrete data?
What is data that represent separate and distinct values or observations, that is, data that contains only finite numbers and have only specified values
What is mixed-methodology?
What is research study approach that includes using both quantitative and qualitative data.
What is the total inpatient service days?
What is the all inpatient service days for each of the days during a specified period of time
What is the Average length of stay?
what is the mean length of stay for a hospital inpatient discharged during a given period of time.
What is the best graph for demonstrating trends over time would be:
Line graph
Definition: A graphic technique used to illustrate the relationship between continuous measurements, consists of a line drawn to connect a series of points on an arithmetic scale and is often used to display time trends
What is interval data?
What is a type of data that represents observation that can be measured on an evenly distributed scale beginning at a point other than true zero.
What is case mix index?
What is the average relative weight of all cases treated at a given facility or by a given physician, which reflects the resources intensity or clinical severity of a specific group in relation to the other groups in the classification system.
What is the daily inpatient census?
What is the number of inpatients at census-taking time each day, plus any patient who were both admitted and discharged after the census taking time the previous day.
What is a patient care unit (PCU)?
What is an organizational entity of a healthcare facility organized both physically and functionally to provide care.
What is a Histogram?
What is a graphic technique to display the frequency distribution of continuous data (interval or ratio data) as either numbers or percentage in a series of bars
What is nominal data?
What is a type of data that represents values or observations that can be labeled or named and where the values fall into unordered categories
What is qualitative research?
What is research design that collects types of data that includes a participant's perceptions, attitudes, feelings or attitudes about a certain subject, methods used to collect qualitative data can include observation, focus groups, case studies, informal conversational interviews and in-depth interviews.
What is the complete master census?
What is a total census for a facility showing the names and locations of patients present in the hospital at a particular point in time.
What is a leave of absence?
What is the authorized absence of an inpatient from a hospital or other facility for a specified period of time occurring after admission and prior to discharge.
What is a scatter diagram?
A graphic that visually displays the liner relationship among factors?
What is ordinal data?
What is a type of data that represents values or observation that can be ranked or ordered.
What is a quantitative study?
What is data collected for research studies that are collated numerically with descriptive, inferential, or predictive statistics.
