Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book will show you how to use existing patient records to do original research so you can custom-tailor programs to fit the specific needs of your department. Clinical Data-Mining in Practice-Based Research draws from the experiences of members of the Mount Sinai Department of Social Work staff. By analyzing case data, these professionals were able to identify biopsychosocial factors that affected social-health outcomes, and therefore to assess, maintain, and improve the quality of social work services. The detailed discussions in this book will help you apply these techniques toward improving your own service.
