This week you are leaning about the hypothesis testing method in statistics. This process starts out by stating the null and alternative hypotheses. Review the terms in “The Visual Learner: Statistics,” located in the Topic 3 Resources, to answer these questions.

Think of a research study that you would like to conduct at your current or future place of employment. In designing your research question, describe the null and alternative hypotheses. What would type I and type II errors look like in this hypothetical situation? Identify if this was a one-tailed or a two-tailed test?

Example: It is hypothesized that a follow-up phone call 2 weeks after discharge will improve patient compliance with the aftercare protocol.

Null Hypothesis: Communication with the patient 2 weeks after discharge will not change the compliance of patient aftercare protocol.

Alternative Hypothesis: Communication with the patient 2 weeks after discharge will improve compliance of patient aftercare protocol.

Type I Error: A type I error could occur if the data suggest an effect of the postdischarge phone call when there was not improvement in compliance of the aftercare protocol.

Type II Error: A type II error could have occurred if the data suggest that there was no improvement in compliance of the aftercare protocol when in fact there was an improvement.

One- or Two-Tailed Test: This is a one-tailed test because the researchers are predicting an increase in compliance of the aftercare protocol.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “HLT-362V Discussion Question Rubric” and “HLT-362V Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively.

. Identify the role of patient safety and its influence on federal initiatives that are used to prevent unintentional death as a result of medical mistakes.

2. The majority of health care errors occur in inpatient settings. Errors are becoming increasingly common in outpatient settings.  Discuss at least two (2) reasons for the increasing errors in outpatient settings. 

  Deliverable Length: 10–15 slides (not including title and reference slides) 

Consider the new healthcare business or service line that you described in the Discussion Board (DB) assignment this week. Use any or all concepts over the course of this class to assist with developing the financial analysis of your new business or service line.

* Use bar graphs, diagrams, or any other visual aid to enhance PowerPoint. 

* Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. 

Create a PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:

• Description of the new healthcare business or service line
• Definition of the four areas of the SWOT analysis
  • Provide examples of the type of information in each section of the SWOT analysis.
• A comprehensive SWOT analysis on the internal and external environment for the service line or new business that you plan to open

Your presentation should be professional and follow CTU guidelines for PowerPoint presentations.
