A Practical Approach to Analyzing Healthcare Data is the perfect starting point for understanding basic data analysis concepts, including where to find healthcare data for comparison purposes. The book provides a basic, HIM-focused overview of statistics meant to orient the student to the subject, rather than providing a full course in statistics. It offers hands-on tools HIM professionals can use to start the analysis process for hospital inpatient data, hospital outpatient data, and physician data. This book is focused on real-life data and problem-solving techniques. Whenever possible, readers are provided with real data or asked to use the Internet to research real, publically available resources. O r d e r o n l i n e a n y t i m e — w w w. a h i m a . o r g

HIM professionals may be unfamiliar with statistical techniques, and statisticians may be unaware of how coded data and classification data are organized. This text can build a bridge between the two most common players in the specialty of data analysis, providing either party with the next level of detail needed to form an effective partnership. Key Features • Learning exercises that use actual data to increase critical thinking skills • CD-ROM packed with data analysis tools: -Reference materials -Data files -Calculators, tracking sheets, and other useful tools • Descriptions of jobs in data analysis as well as biographies of real data analysts demonstrate career opportunities

HIPAA by Example Mary C. Thomason, MSA, RHIA, CHPS, CISSP, and Jill Callahan Dennis, JD, RHIA, Technical Reviewer AHIMA HIPAA by Example stands out from other HIPAA books by providing expert information on applying the Privacy Rule correctly under real-life scenarios. Not just a restatement of the rules, HIPAA by Example clarifies questions not always addressed in the rule itself. The scenarios in the book are based on actual situations and best practices, and reference current state and other laws. Many books about HIPAA were written when the rule became active and didn’t consider implications and questions that would arise with actual application. HIPAA by Example responds and clarifies areas in the Privacy Rule, such as: • Situations not covered by the Rule • How state laws, drug or alcohol treatment regulations, or other laws should apply to HIPAA (includes search terms for easily finding these laws and regulations)
