Clinical Analytics and Data Management for the DNP - 3rd Edition by Martha L Sylvia & Mary F Terhaar (Paperback)

About the Book

"When we first conceived of this book, our intent was to create a resource that would introduce the theory, processes, and tools needed by professionals to achieve impactful clinical scholarship. We described improvement processes that originated with data from practice which pointed to opportunities to improve and concluded with data that helped to determine if the evidence-based solutions implemented had been effective. We are excited by the number of programs that have adopted this book as a course text, by the quality of the clinical scholarship that has employed this process, and by our conversations with faculty, students, and DNPs like you at conferences where you have shared the pride you feel in the success you have achieved. It is again time to refresh this resource in order to continue to advance high-quality, high-impact clinical scholarship in the context of a great many developments in policy, analytics, and innovation. In this third edition, we intend to help you stay in the groove with the world of big data, value-based care, and data-driven decision making. We maintain our bright focus on prevention, population health, and the contribution of DNPs to clinical scholarship and practice leadership"--

-- Doody's Medical Reviews

This unique text and reference--the only book to address the full spectrum of clinical data management for the DNP student--instills a fundamental understanding of how clinical data is gathered, used, and analyzed, and how to incorporate this data into a quality DNP project. The new third edition is updated to reflect changes in national health policy such as quality measurements, bundled payments for specialty care, and Advances to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and evolving programs through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The third edition reflects the revision of 2021 AACN Essentials and provides data sets and other examples in Excel and SPSS format, along with several new chapters.

This resource takes the DNP student step-by-step through the complete process of data management, from planning through presentation, clinical applications of data management that are discipline-specific, and customization of statistical techniques to address clinical data management goals. Chapters are brimming with descriptions, resources, and exemplars that are helpful to both faculty and students. Topics spotlight requisite competencies for DNP clinicians and leaders such as phases of clinical data management, statistics and analytics, assessment of clinical and economic outcomes, value-based care, quality improvement, benchmarking, and data visualization. A progressive case study highlights multiple techniques and methods throughout the text. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
