What You'll Learn

Healthcare analytics through structured statistical practice

  • Importance of Healthcare Data Analytics: collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation
  • What MINITAB software is and the benefits it confers
  • How to use MINITAB to analyze healthcare data
  • Successful application and integration in day-to-day work environment

MINITAB minimizes the time required for data analysis to import data, develop sound statistical approaches to exploring data, create and interpret compelling graphs, and export results. It helps to analyze a variety of real world data sets to learn how to align your applications with the right statistical tool, and interpret statistical output to reveal problems with a process or evidence of an improvement.

Participants will also learn the fundamentals of important statistical concepts, such as hypothesis testing and confidence intervals, and how to uncover and describe relationships between variables with statistical modeling tools. This course places a strong emphasis on making sound decisions based upon the practical application of statistical techniques commonly found in manufacturing, engineering, and research and development endeavors.
