By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Analyze month-over-month infection-rate trends to identify abnormal spikes - Apply measures of central tendency and dispersion to summarize dataset variables This course is unique because it combines time-series analysis with foundational statistics specifically for healthcare quality monitoring, using real infection control scenarios. To be successful in this project, you should have a background in basic Excel functions and healthcare terminology. Transform your ability to turn raw healthcare data into actionable insights that protect patients and improve outcomes.
