Healthcare Statistics

The managed care organization has asked you to put together a spreadsheet that shows a comparison between 3 diseases that are impacting 3 different countries. Because your department will be coming up for an accreditation performance review, this is a good time to start to evaluate data. In recent years, studies have indicated an increase in overall rates for cancer, HIV/AIDS, and obesity.

Use the library, textbook, and the Web site for the World Health Organization (WHO) to research and explain why there is such a profound change in these countries during the time span. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 8–10 slides as well as an Excel spreadsheet that does the following:

  • Compare data from the United States, Canada, and Cuba.
  • Analyze obesity, cancer, and HIV/AIDS in these countries.
  • Data should be viewed from 2008 to 2010.
  • Calculate the percentage of change from one year to the next.
  • Provide an explanation for the changes from 2008–2010.
