Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine: Informatics Accuracy and Cost-Effectiveness for Healthcare Administration and Delivery Including Medical Research

With the advent of electronic medical records years ago and the increasing capabilities of computers, our healthcare systems are sitting on growing mountains of data. Not only does the data grow from patient volume but the type of data we store is also growing exponentially. Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine provides research tools to analyze these large amounts of data and addresses some of the most pressing issues and challenges where data integrity is compromised: patient safety, patient communication, and patient information. Through the use of predictive analytic models and applications, this book is an invaluable resource to predict more accurate outcomes to help improve quality care in the healthcare and medical industries in the most cost–efficient manner. Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine provides the basics of predictive analytics for those new to the area and focuses on general philosophy and activities in the healthcare and medical system. It explains why predictive models are important, and how they can be applied to the predictive analysis process in order to solve real industry problems. Researchers need this valuable resource to improve data analysis skills and make more accurate and cost-effective decisions.

Lavishly illustrated with beautiful color reproductions of Renaissance artwork--including oil paintings and stained glass windows--and with over a hundred black-and-white drawings, this classic gardening book, now over four hundred years old, offers a delightful view of how Elizabethan gardeners practiced their craft. The Gardener's Labyrinth was the first popular gardening book published in the English language, appearing around 1577. From the very first pages, The Labyrinth's descriptions--how to test soil between the fingers, build a rose arch, or mulch a vegetable bed--leave no doubt that Thomas Hill was a man who loved to get his hands dirty. Surprisingly enough, much of Hill's practical advice is still relevant today--indeed, one of the charms of the book is to see how far back some traditional gardening tips go. But Hill was also an astrologer, and it is striking to find, among detailed accounts of the varieties of soil and the qualities of herbs, complex zodiacal schemes for planting and harvesting, and bizarre suggestions for deterring pests and controlling the weather.

Everything you need to know about fatherhood -- but were afraid to ask!. Why are all parenting books directed at mommies? Daddies need help, too. In fact, when you think about it, they may need more help than their naturally maternal mates do. They need guidance, comfort, and validation. They probably also need a good night's sleep, and they definitely need a good laugh. What the Heck Were You Expecting? provides month-by-month counsel for the spit-up covered, the sleep deprived, and the just plain peek-a-booed out, including such subjects as:What your wife might be complaining about (. . . anything she can think of) What your above-average child may be doing (. . . paying attention to small objects) What you might be concerned about (. . . the meaning of life) A couple of things to say to let her know that you're caring, sensitive, and up on the required reading (. . . "Listen to this one: Statistics show that attendance at work is better among married men with children and spikes even higher among fathers of newborns. Quite a coincidence, huh?") Thomas Hill, registered father and author of the best-selling What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding, answers every father's questions about: ESPN as Edu-tainment Horsy Knee Burn Zen and the Art of Spoon-feeding Basics of Crib Assembly Nap Time . . . and How to Hide It from Your Boss . . .among other topics.
