Assignment Task

Purpose:

The purpose of this assignment is to assess your understanding and ability to apply what you learned about using available coded data, how the data can be presented and used to support decision-making.

Request:

Senior management at your hospital has received funding from the Ministry or Department of Health to develop a new gynecology program to provide this service in your geographic area.

You have been asked to provide the senior management team with data that will help them decide how to allocate these new funds.

Since your hospital has never had a gynecology program prior to receiving this funding, you will use your “Neighbouring Facility’s” data to help better understand and to project anticipated needs of this service population. Since your “Neighbouring Facility” has had a gynecology program for many years, their data will help you estimate volumes of diagnoses and interventions that your facility should expect to serve once the new gynecology program is up and running.
