PBHL-H303 Health Admin Data Analysis
Project Proposal
In this class, we worked with several types of health datasets, including electronic health records, insurance claims, administrative data, and survey data. For the final report, we analyzed these datasets and produced clear data visualizations, written reports, and a static dashboard.
My report was focused on the percentage of smokers in Indiana. I examined whether smoking rates were correlated with years of potential life lost, fair or poor health, and physical inactivity.
What I learned
I learned how to explore relationships between variables, interpret patterns in the data, and communicate those findings meaningfully. This project helped me understand how data can reveal important public health trends and support better decision‑making in health care.
