Nominal Data Ordinal Data
Categorical / Qualitative
• Data categorized & counted.
• Categorical data not measured.
• Based on counts of members of discrete categories.
• Categorical data exist only as whole numbers ( number
of procedures, members, patients, deaths, events)
• Can be expressed as percentages, e.g. : CHF 20% of
patients.
• Qualitative data, describe qualities of categories as blood
type, intensity of burn, physician speciality.
• Qualitative data includes observations as data from case
studies, focus groups, interviews.
• Nominal: counting things of different names.
• Ordinal data: scores on ordered scale.

Measurement of Central tendency
Modern PowerPoint Presentation
• Central tendency describes set of measures that indicates what
is the middle value of data.
• Statistical measures that describe central tendency:
Mean
Median
Mode.

Mean (Average)
50%
50%

Mean (Average)
• The mean is the average of the numbers.
• It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by
how many numbers there are.
In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

Mean (Average)
• Example 1 : What is the Mean of these numbers?
6, 11, 7
• Add the numbers: 6 + 11 + 7 = 24
• Divide by how many numbers (there are 3 numbers): 24 / 3 = 8
The Mean is 8

Mean (Average)
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
• Add the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9= 45
• Divide by how many numbers (there are 9 numbers): 45 / 9 = 5
The Mean is 5

Mean (Average)

Mean (Average)
1 , 8 , 3 , 2 , 6 Mean is 4

Mean (Average)
• Example 2: (2, 4, 6, 8, 100)
• After adding : 120 / 5
Mean = 24
The Mean
should not
used in this
case
It is not logical
average

Mean (Average)
• Example 2: (2, 4, 6, 8, 100)
Mean = 24
• 100 in this example considered an astronomical numbers –
outlier data:
- Numbers that are very different from remaining numbers, so
mean is pulled toward this astronomical value, so mean NOT
really indicate middle of data in this case.
Median is the choice

Median
• The middle number with equal number of values above and
below median.
• Median used with ordinal & interval data types.
• Arrange numbers from lowest to highest.
• The fiftieth percentile. That value at or above which 50% of cases
fall and at or below which 50% of cases fall.

Median
In odd numbers
• In set of data (3, 3, 5, 6, 8)
• median is the middle
• (median = 5)
In even numbers
• In set of data (3, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9)
• Median (5 + 6)= 11 / 2 = 5.5
• Median 5.5

Median
Modern Median is 6resentation
• Example 2: (2, 4, 6, 8, 100)
Mean = 24

• Age distribution of diaper users
1,1,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,50,87,88,88,88,88,88,89,89,90
Mode is the choice
?

Mode

Mode
• Data set may have one or two modes.
• This measure of central tendency best used with nominal data.
• Example: (2, 4, 4, 6, 8) ...mode = 4.
• Example : ( 2,4,4,6,6,8) …. mode = 4,6
• Example : ( 2,4,4,6,6,6,8) ….. mode = 6
• If there is frequent number Mode is Zero.
• If there are many it is a multimodal:
If 2 it is bimodal
If 3 it is trimodal

Normal and skewed distribution

Range
• Shows lowest and highest numbers in set of numbers.
• It is not telling anything about numbers between two values.
• Calculated by subtracting lowest number from highest number.
Examples:
2, 4 , 6 , 8 , 10
so range will be 2 , 10
Or (10 – 2 ) = 8

Frequency Distribution
• Table or graphic displaying all unique values in a data set along
with the number of times each value appears within the set.

Cumulative Frequency
Distribution

Relative frequency/percentage:
• Calculation of proportion, or part – to –whole relationship.
• Percentage is calculated by dividing the part (single object) by the
whole (total number of cases in group) and multiplying by 100
Example:
• Number of ortho clinic visitors 250
• Number of OPD visitors 1000
250
Percentage = ‫ـــــــــــ‬ = .25 x 100 = 25%
1000

Ratio:
Is a comparison, relation between two groups.
Example:
The ratio of male staff to female staff is:
Word Form
5 to 6
Colon Form
5 : 6
Fraction Form
5
‫ــــــــــ‬ or 5/6
6

Ratio:
• Is a comparison, relation between two things.
Considerations:
1. The ratio should be in the most simple formula
2. Same unit should be used for the same groups

For example : the ration is 40 cm to 2 m .It cannot be displayed as:
40:2 we should use either CM or M for both 40 : 200

Ratio:
• Is a comparison, relation between two things.
Considerations:
3. The ratio is not real fraction, it indicate relation only:

Rate:
• It is a ratio that involves a period of time

Standard deviation
• Measure spread of distribution, computed value describe amount
of variability in particular distribution.
• The more values cluster around mean, the smaller amount of
variability or dispersion.

Standard Deviation
• In normal distribution curve:
• 68.2 % of population between (mean +/- 1 SD) (X +/- 1 σ)
• 95.4% of population between (mean +/- 2 SD) (X +/- 2 σ)
• 99.7% of population between (mean +/- 3 SD) (X +/- 3 σ)

Data Collection
IMPORTANCE OF DATA COLLECTION:
 Integrity of The Research :A key reason for collecting data, be it through quantitative or
qualitative methods is to ensure that the integrity of the research question is indeed maintained.
 Reduce the likelihood of errors: The correct use of appropriate data collection of
methods reduces the likelihood of errors consistent with the results.
 Decision Making: To minimize the risk of errors in decision making, it is important that accurate
data is collected so that the researcher doesn't make uninformed decisions.
 Save Cost and Time: Data collection saves the researcher time and funds that would
otherwise be misspent without a deeper understanding of the topic or subject matter.
 To support a need for a new idea, change and/or innovation or
improvement project :To prove the need for a change in the norm or the introduction of new
information that will be widely accepted, it is important to collect data as evidence to support these claims.

Data Collection
Determine What Information You Want to Collect:
 Set a Timeframe for Data Collection
 Determine Your Data Collection Method
 Collect the Data
 Analyze the Data and Implement Your Findings

Data Collection
Primary vs Secondary Data:
 Primary data is data that is collected by a researcher from first-
hand sources, using methods like surveys, interviews, or
experiments. It is collected with the research project in mind,
directly from primary sources.
 Secondary data is data gathered from studies, surveys, or
experiments that have been run by other people or for other
research.

Data Collection

Types of Sampling Technique

Sample size
JCI guideline for sampling:
• These sample size are considered as statistically significant and
can be applied to measure activities per specific period:
Population size
Sample Size
100% of all available cases
< 30 cases
30 cases
30 – 100 cases
50 cases
101 – 500 cases
70 cases
> 500 cases

Once data are collected , it is the time to analyze it

Data Analysis:
• Data analysis “is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transformin
g, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful
information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-
making”
AHIMA

Data Analysis:
Data Analysis = Detective Work
• Finding patterns
• Seeing trends
• Identifying anomalies
• Answering question

Types of Analysis:
Descriptive statistics:
Used to summarize the center and shape of the distribution
of a variable of interest.
Inferential statistics:
Is the set of techniques that are used to make conclusion
about the population of interest based on the analysis of a
sample of data.

Structured data:
Is data elements that stored in field specifically designed for
it.
It maybe used as a parameter in the a query or summarized
by counting the frequency distribution of value or average.
Examples:
Age, admission date and gender
Structured Vs unstructured Data:

Unstructured data:
Is free form text data that is captured in a narrative form.
It is stored in database, but the field not allow for querying
based on its value.
Examples:
Progress note , Radiology report
Structured Vs unstructured Data:

Data, Information, Knowledge,
and Wisdom (DIKW)

The Process of Data Analysis

Data Governance
A system of decision rights and accountabilities for information-
related processes, executed according to agreed-upon models
which describe who can take what actions with what information,
and when, under what circumstances, using what methods.
Data Governance Institute
Data governance helps health care organizations better manage
and realize value from their data.

Data Governance

Goal of Data Governance

Display & statistical tools:
• Used to measure performance.
• Collect, display data different variables.
• Tools used for problem identification, data analysis, solution
planning, outcome evaluation.
• Appropriate display is responsibility of quality professional.
• Appropriate data presentation determines whether appropriate.
• Decision is made and appropriate action is taken.
• How data is aggregated and displayed critical to outcome &
ultimate effectiveness of process.

• Organized and summarized data for sample or population.
• There are several issues with using tables displaying data over
time:
The information displayed without any guidance as to what is
important within the table, then it will be difficult for the reader
to tell easily what is important within the table.
Sometimes colors are used as traffic light colors (red, yellow,
green) to attract focus toward some data, not demonstrate
common cause variation of data over time.
Tables:

Tables:

• A Pie Chart is a type of graph that displays data in a circular
graph. The pieces of the graph are proportional to the fraction of
the whole in each category. In other words, each slice of the pie is
relative to the size of that category in the group as a whole. The
entire “pie” represents 100 percent of a whole, while the pie
“slices” represent portions of the whole.
Pie Chart:

• Pie charts give you a snapshot of how a group is broken down
into smaller pieces.
Pie Chart:

• Display of comparisons between different groups of discrete
objects that cannot be ordered.
• Used for categorical variables, each set of bars represent
category.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Indicators are metrics that have context assigned to them so that
both the baseline data and the target or goal are depicted. These
metrics indicate whether the current performance is good or bad,
convey how close or far the current performance is from the target
goal, and show whether performance is trending toward meeting
the target or trending away from the target. Indicators are much
more useful as they provide a trigger for action. Indicators are often
placed on performance dashboards.

Seven Characteristics of KPIs

• Timely
• Senior management focused
• Simple
• Team-based
• Significant organizational
