Every health care organization collects data from its patients, and with access to this data comes the responsibility of securing and using data in applications that are ethical, legal, and with studied outcomes. While organizational health information management supports many of these responsibilities, the decision makers ultimately shape an organization and its future. In this assessment, you analyze the data provided and consider its potential impact in the scenario.
Part I: Cases by City
Read the following scenario:
Data has been collected to identify specific cases of people who are infected with a dangerous virus. Your organization has an interest in knowing where the population is most affected in an effort to move resources to areas that need them.
Create a bar chart using Microsoft Excel® and the data provided in the Cases by City spreadsheet to identify the cities with the highest counts of cases.
Write a 525- to 700-word analysis of the data. Include an answer to the following questions:
- What are the top 5 cities for infected cases?
- How many infected cases do each of those cities have?
- What is the prevalence rate per 100,000 people?
- What else can be deduced after evaluating the chart?
Include your bar chart with the analysis.
Part II: Ages Impacted
Now that we know where the outbreaks are located, your organization wants to know more about who it affects. The age of the patient will determine what kind of resources will be needed in those areas.
Create a side-by-side bar graph using Microsoft Excel® and the data provided in the Ages Impacted spreadsheet to identify the age groups affected by the virus.
Note: This information will be used for further analysis in future assessments.
Write a 525- to 700-word analysis of the data. Include an answer to the following questions:
- Which age groups are most affected?
- Which age groups are least affected?
- What is the prevalence rate per age demographic?
- What else can be deduced after evaluating the chart?
Include your side-by-side bar graph with the analysis.
Format your citations according to APA guidelines.
Compile Part I and Part II into a report that could be submitted to the leadership in your organization.

Double click your mouse anywhere in this paragraph to replace this text with your introduction. Often the most important paragraph in the entire essay, the introduction grabs the reader's attention—sometimes a difficult task for academic writing. When writing an introduction, some approaches are best avoided. Avoid starting sentences with “The purpose of this essay is . . .” or “In this essay I will . . .” or any similar flat announcement of your intention or topic.
Level One Heading
Replace the level one heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be centered and in bold font. Headings are a necessary part of helping your audience track the sub-topics discussed in the body of the essay or report.
Be sure to indent the first line of each paragraph between five and seven spaces by pressing the Tab key one time on the keyboard. In addition, remember to double space the entire paper using the double space functionality in Word. This template is already formatted for double spacing.
In addition, keep in mind an academic essay should contain at least five paragraphs, which includes the introduction (introductory paragraph), the body (which is generally at least three paragraphs), and the conclusion (generally one paragraph). Most well-developed paragraphs contain at least three to five sentences, one of which is the topic sentence. Limit each body paragraph to one sub-topic.
Level Two Heading
Replace the level two heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be left-aligned and in bold font. The text begins as a new paragraph.
Level Three Heading
Replace the level three heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be left-aligned with bold and italicized font. The text begins as a new paragraph. Most master’s-level papers will be sufficient with three levels of heading. Delete the following level four and five heading placeholders if not needed.
Level Four Heading. Replace the level four heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be indented, in bold font, and end with a period. The text begins on the same line.
Level Five Heading. Replace the level five heading with the words for your heading. The heading must be indented, in bold, italicized font, and end with a period. The text begins on the same line.
Conclusion
The closing paragraph is designed to bring the reader to your way of thinking if you are writing a persuasive essay, to understand relationships if you are writing a comparison/contrast essay, or simply to value the information you provide in an informational essay. The closing paragraph summarizes the key points from the supporting paragraphs without introducing any new information.
References
This is a hanging indent. To keep the hanging indent format, triple click your mouse on this line of text and replace the information with your reference entry. You can use the Reference and Citation Examples (Center for Writing Excellence > Reference and Citation Examples) to help format your source information into a reference entry.
The reference page always begins on the top of the next page after the conclusion.
