This
book shows how Microsoft Excel is able to teach health
services management statistics effectively. Similar to the previously published Excel 2010 for Health Services Management Statistics, it 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 management courses.  Its
powerful computational ability and graphical functions make learning statistics
much easier than in years past.  Excel 2010 for Health Services Management
Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems 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.
