Wk 5 Discussion: Health Care Data and Analytics [due Thurs]

Discussion Topic

As a medical and health information manager, you will use online databases to compare physicians, long-term care providers, and insurance companies. Using these databases gives you insight into health care data and analytics, health insurance companies, private and government payers, providers, and patients to make choices about which providers are selected and paid based on quality, satisfaction, and cost data. Watch “Forecasting in Healthcare” to gain real-world insight about communicating in the health care field.



After you watch the video, follow these steps:

Access the Care Compare tool on the Medicare.gov website.
Select the hospital provider feature and choose 3 hospitals you are interested in comparing. For example, you might choose to compare your local hospitals or an academic medical center, a rural hospital, and sole community provider to see how they compare. Or you could choose hospitals in different parts of the country for a regional comparison.
