Healthcare Data Analysis and Statistical Modeling in R

Healthcare organizations generate vast amounts of complex data, but turning this raw information into reliable, actionable insights requires specialized statistical techniques. Understanding how to model healthcare outcomes accurately is essential for improving patient care and operational efficiency. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of health data analysis and statistical modeling using R, helping you transition from basic data manipulation to understanding sophisticated analytical techniques so you can address real-world healthcare research questions with confidence. What you'll learn: Understand core healthcare data structures and foundational statistical concepts in R; Apply causal inference and matching techniques to reduce bias in observational health studies; Configure fixed and random effects models to analyze clustered or repeated measures data; Handle missing clinical data using modern imputation methods to maintain statistical power; Implement bootstrapping techniques in R to estimate confidence intervals for complex metrics; Practice reproducible data workflows using tidyverse principles for clean, transparent analysis. The course begins with essential healthcare data terminology and introductory statistical programming in R. You will then progress step-by-step through advanced modeling techniques, learning how to specify models correctly and interpret results in a clinical context. This course is designed for aspiring healthcare analysts, clinical researchers, and data enthusiasts looking to build their statistical toolkit. No advanced programming background is required, as we start with foundational R concepts before exploring complex models.
