Series: Excel for Statistics

This book shows the capabilities of Microsoft Excel in teaching

health services management statistics effectively. Similar to the

previously published Excel 2016 for Health Services Management Statistics,

this book is a step-by-step, exercise-driven guide for students and

practitioners who need to master Excel to solve practical health services

management problems. If understanding statistics isn’t your strongest

suit, you are not especially mathematically inclined, or if you are wary

of computers, this is the right book for you.

Excel, a widely available computer program for students and managers,

is also an effective teaching and learning tool for quantitative

analyses in health services courses. Its powerful computational ability

and graphical functions make learning statistics much easier than in

years past. However, Excel 2019 for Health Services Management Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems, 2nd Edition capitalizes on these improvements by teaching

students and managers how to apply Excel to statistical techniques

necessary in their courses and work.

Each chapter explains statistical formulas 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 of each

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 have learned.
