IFSM Information Systems in Health Care Organizations Discussion #2 for Week 3

EVERYONE: This discussion focuses on what information and insights can be gained from data that is collected and shared. There are many tools that take vast arrays of data and create information in a form that helps us better understand what the data tells us. One group of tools are called data visualization tools. Visit the website below and select one of the methods of data display for a topic of interest to you. Explain how that particular display helps us understand the data better. If you can, it would be helpful to copy and paste the data display into your posting, or provide a link to it. (Be sure to cite your source correctly.)
