it is a standard for managing data obtained through medical imaging, it includes a communication protocol, it includes a definition of data format, it is a module in HIS

an application through which patients can securely and confidentially access, manage and share their health information

the web page access syntax

the frequency distribution can be obtained directly by counting how many times each value appears, the variable's values are always in order, they can be graphically represented using a histogram, they are the result of a measurement or are obtained by counting

standard deviation, range, variance

positively skewed distribution, unimodal distributions, symmetrical distribution

it allows efficient presenting of results, scores from all scales can be converted to a score on the Z scale, it is standard scale in statistics

the end result of hypothesis testing, not the probability that the null hypothesis is true

is always obtained when the p value is less than 0.05, happens if the data is not consistent with the null hypothesis

it is an equation of a straight line, the expression result is the outcome or dependent variable

is sometimes called the Pearson's correlation coefficient, is negative when small values of a variable are associated to high values of another variables

ethernet, fiber channel, history (=token ring, ATM, frame relay)

public, private, hybrid, community

patient management in hospitals or clinics, the security of the data system, managing lab tests, managing patient-related costs

all aspects of functioning of a hospital, all activities of the hospital groups, all internal groups of people, all groups of external foreign individuals

EpiInfo, MS excel, statistica

distributed group of computing services, distributed group of applications, distributed group for data storage

is used to state how close the computed statistical value is to the real value, is the standard deviation of the sample distribution

has a statistic that follows student’s t distribution, can be represented by a graphical representation of normality, can be applied to small sample sizes

an extension of binary data to include more than 2 possible values, it can have only two values, ‘’yes’’ or ‘’no’’, it is either nominal or ordinal categorical data

interquartile range, standard deviation

a set of standards used to tag the elements of a hypertext document, a meta-language widely used today to define particular types of ‘’computerized’’ complex documents, a web browser used to view web pages, a system of interlinked hypertext documents that can be accessed via the Internet

convert observation from different distributions with different measurement scales to comparable units, it can’t be used to compute z-scores for data arising from any type of distribution, it is a measure of the relative distance of a single observation in a data distribution relative to the mean of the distribution

public, hybrid

all aspects of functioning of a hospital, all activities of the hospital groups, all internal groups of people, all groups of external, foreign individuals

most medical data follows unimodal distributions, most medical data follows positively skewed distributions

is the end result of hypothesis testing, estimates intervals with different levels of confidence

the average of the square of the deviations about the sample mean, the square root of the variance

the median is the second quartile, the three quartiles divide the distribution into four equal parts, the most frequently occurring value is called the mode of the distribution

the characteristics of the sample should mimic those of the population

patient data, administrative data

can have values between 1 and -1, is zero when is no linear relationship between variables, has a maximum value of 1 and a minimum value of -1

a .txt file with daily blood glucose measurements of a patient, a .doc file with the list of shifts on surgery department, a .xls file with the grades to discipline Medical Informatics

can be applied only if the sampled data follows a normal distribution, can be represented using a graphical representation of normality

flat, object-oriented, hierarchical

unrestricted access to persistent data

PAN (Personal Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

a way of storing data, a way to access data

the intercept and the slope are parameters of the linear regression equation, it is used to predict one variable y, based on an observed variable, x, is is an equation of a straight line, it involves choosing the line that minimizes the distance from the point to itself in the y direction

can potentially be computed in different ways, depending on the problems

it is a module in HIS

variance , interquartile range, standard deviation

it is a system of interlinked hypertext documents that can be accessed via the internet

most medical data follows positively skewed distributions, if the sail on the right is not of similar length to the tail on the left the distribution is skewed, if the tail on the right is of similar length to the tail on the left the midline the mean and the mode are equal

shows strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis if it has a value below 0.05, is the end result of hypothesis testing, estimates intervals with different levels of confidence

the square of average the of the deviation about the sample mean, the square root of the variance

in a normal distribution mean median and module are equal, the most frequently occurring value is called the mode of the distribution

the characteristics of the sample should mimic those of the population, a sample is smaller than the population, the central limit theorem refers to the sampling distribution, the samples can be randomly generated

medical terminology dictionaries, environmental data

it is a symmetrical distribution

private, hybrid

the average of the square of the deviations about the sample mean, the square root of the variance

is zero when is no relationship between variables

a dbf file with the phone number of students

the frequency or absolute frequency

it is a tool to display key characteristics of a dataset

determine a range that is likely to contain the true population value, can be interpreted as a range of plausible vales for the unknown truth

the characteristics of the sample should mimic those of population, a sample is smaller than the population
