When it is Neither Yes nor No: Understanding and Explaining Health Statistics

When it is Neither Yes nor No: Understanding and Explaining Health Statistics

Remember that classroom setting where numbers seemed to blend into the chalkboard? The basic 2+2=4 became obsolete and letters started to get involved in the equation? We’ve all been there, but now we need to explain critical numbers while our patients are in the desk chair. Caregivers often don’t know how to talk about the relative advantages and risks associated with procedures and pharmaceuticals because patients are unaware of how to turn percentages into useful facts to help make decisions. How can you bridge the gap?

In this presentation, Joseph Snipp, System Director and Clinical Data Analytics at Aspirus, Inc. will share his methods on how to explain odds and ratios in a way that will resonate with patients.
