Riassunto:

Thisbook shows how Microsoft Excel is able to teach healthservices management statistics effectively. Similar to the previously published Excel 2010 for Health Services Management Statistics, it is a step-by-step exercise-driven guide for students andpractitioners who need to master Excel to solve practical health servicesmanagement problems.  If understandingstatistics isn’t your strongest suit, you are not especiallymathematically-inclined, or if you are wary of computers, this is the rightbook for you. 

Excel,a widely available computer program for students and managers, is also aneffective teaching and learning tool for quantitative analyses in healthservices management courses.  Itspowerful computational ability and graphical functions make learning statisticsmuch easier than in years past.  Excel 2010 for Health Services ManagementStatistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems capitalizes on theseimprovements by teaching students and managers how to apply Excel tostatistical techniques necessary in their courses and work.

Each chapter explains statisticalformulas and directs the reader to use Excel commands to solve specific,easy-to-understand health services management problems.  Practice problems are provided at the end ofeach chapter with their solutions in an Appendix.  Separately, there is a full Practice Test(with answers in an Appendix) that allows readers to test what they havelearned.
