Health Data Analytics -- examining population disability status
Is the market served by your clinic, hospital or professional practice defined by who shows up at the door? Understanding healthcare market dynamics is one way these entities can improve their bottom line by using Health Data Analytics. Professionals skilled with Health Data Analytics (HDA) can help their organization, or clients, better achieve their vision and improve performance. See the HDA main section for a summary of related topics and sections. Analyzing Population Disability Status This section is focused on use of tools and methods to analyze population disability status. Participants in the Certificate in Data Analytics may optionally use the tools and resources described here. The Data Analytics Methods Guide provides extended detail on use of these tools, data and development of applications to meet participant interests. Population with disabilities change over the past 5 years ... the civilian noninstitutionalized population increased from 36,150,710 in 2009 to 39,674,679 in 2014, an increase of 3,523,969 (9.75%). Use the interactive table in this section to view, rank, compare attributes of the population by disability status for the U.S. and all states and metros. The latest data providing insights into the population with disabilities is from the 2014 American Community Survey (ACS2014). Using these data, we can gain a better understanding of the characteristics of the population with disabilities. U.S. Population with Disabilities The following table (scroll section) presents an overview of the disability status of the civilian noninstitutionalized population by gender and age for the United States overall for 2009 compared to 2014.

Terms and Definitions Data presented on disability status are based on data tabulated from the 2009 American Community Survey (ACS). See definitions and discussion. There are other disabilities, not covered on the ACS questionnaire. Among the noteworthy omissions in the terms listed below is the inability to speak or limitations with respect to speech ability.
