Abstract:
Decision-support tools help providers put the focus on prevention. Cardiovascular disease is the nation's number one killer, and complications from this disease cost the health care system billions each year to treat.

To assist providers in this process, a Longwood, FL-based company has unveiled two new tools designed to simplify risk identification and streamline patient tracking procedures so that providers can keep close tabs on care quality and patient progress.

Decision Making: Traditional Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...
Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
