Course Title HCIN 547 – Health Care Analytics

Course Project Data Story Project

Competency Data and Knowledge Management

The selected artifact, the Data Story Project, represents a comprehensive exploration into the

relationship between blood pressure control and healthcare costs. In this project, I utilized visualization

techniques to model data collected from the Health Resources and Services Administration as it relates to

patients who seek care at their health centers. The artifact involves a multilayered approach,

encompassing various techniques for data extraction, transformation, and analysis using different

software tools. Furthermore, it displays my ability to apply both structured and unstructured data to solve

clinical problems. This artifact not only reflects what I have learned through my graduate studies but also

serves as a testament to my commitment to leveraging informatics skills to contribute meaningfully to the

clinical team.

This artifact effectively demonstrates several student learning outcomes and course learning

outcomes, particularly in the realm of data and knowledge management. It aligns with the ability to define

and identify appropriate data sets for healthcare analysis, analyze complex data sets utilizing data

visualization tools, and understand the role clinical data plays in revealing important patterns. These

patterns can inform healthcare decisions in evidence-based ways. The Data Story Project directly

addresses the program learning outcome in Data and Knowledge Management, showcasing how

informatics tools can assist the clinical team in identifying, analyzing, and managing healthcare data to

solve clinical problems. The construction of a data analysis plan, utilization of data visualization tools,

and the creation of a data story that communicates trends that recommended interventions all facilitated

my satisfaction of the Data and Knowledge Management Competency.
