An Introduction to Databases and Statistical Analysis

von Joseph Schulman
With accompanying software!
Clinicians manage a lot of data - on assorted bits of paper andin their heads. This book is about better ways to manage andunderstand large amounts of clinical data. Following on from hisground breaking book, Evaluating the Processes of NeonatalIntensive Care, Joseph Schulman has produced this eminentlyreadable guide to patient data analysis. He demystifies thetechnical methodology to make this crucial aspect of good clinicalpractice understandable and usable for all health careworkers.
Computer technology has been relatively slow to transform thedaily work of health care, the way it has transformed otherprofessions that work with large amounts of data. Each day, we doour work as we did it the day before, even though currenttechnology offers much better ways.
Here are much better ways to document and learn from the dailywork of clinical care. Here are the principles of data managementand analysis and detailed examples of how to implement them usingcomputer technology.
To show you that the knowledge is scalable and useful, and toget you off to a running start, the book includes a complete pointof care database software application tailored to the neonatalintensive care unit (NICU).
With examples from the NICU and the pediatric ward, this book isaimed specifically at the neonatal and pediatric teams. Theaccompanying software can be downloaded on to your system or PDA, so that continual record assessment becomes second nature - askill that will immeasurably improve practice and outcomes for allyour patients.
