Prepare a one-page summary
of the VA appointments data including the backlog and hospital characteristics.
Include a combination of graphs and numerical statistics that you
think effectively summarizes the data. Discuss the rationale for
your choices.
Choose another region
of the country and randomly select 12-16 VA medical centers from three
or four VISNs. Build a file similar to VA_Appts_Processed.jmp. Repeat
the analysis from this case. How do the results for this region compare
to those of the southeast region?
Given the results of
the analyses conducted in this case, what would you recommend as a
next analysis using the given data? Is there other data that you
think would be helpful to better understand the change in backlog?
