Assessment 7 Instructions: Data Mining

In this assessment, you will write a 5-page paper analyzing two data sets.
Introduction
Data mining is an analytical process used to extract data for the purpose of providing information. In this
assessment, you will perform data mining activities and apply the results to different uses in health care information
settings.
Preparation
You will be working with datasets in Excel spreadsheets for this assessment. Download and review these datasets
now:
Dataset 1 Clinic Performance 2017 [XLS].
Dataset 2 Nursing Performance 2016 [XLS].
Instructions
As a data analyst for Vila Health, you have been asked to work on a project related to customer satisfaction and
nursing staff performance. You will analyze two data sets and compose a report for the clinic’s physicians based on
your analysis. In your closing report, draw conclusions about how the information from the data sets can be
connected. For example, can the physician’s performance impact nursing tasks? Or, is there an association between
customer satisfaction and nursing task performance?
Data set 1: The Clinic Performance spreadsheet contains raw data about performance at your clinic from a
customer service perspective.
Organize and analyze the raw data.
Draw conclusions about clinic physicians and customer service.
Explain if the sample can provide an accurate depiction of clinic performance, noting variations and
patterns.
Describe how to use data sampling methods in strategic decision-making.
Create two recommendations for improving patient service based on the results of your analysis.
Data set 2: Nursing Data Worksheet provides information on nursing staff performance on two tasks. The
data shows that there has been a decrease in productivity for the nursing staff at one of the Vila Health clinics
in the past few months. Using the Nursing Data Worksheet and the pivot table report, complete the
following:
Perform data mining techniques to determine how the nursing staff performed when completing Task 1
and Task 2.
Discuss data mining tools. Provide a brief summary of data mining techniques that can be used to
evaluate the nursing staff tasks. Include a description of how each technique can be used to help
