Discussion 3 (DTDS22)

[Matthew Banos]

• Which is the best type of graph to show ranking?

• If we rank claims from most to least frequent, which service category would be at the top of the list (most frequent)?

• Which would be at the bottom?

• Is this true for both Eastern and Northern Zones, or do the rankings differ?

[Maryann Roebuck]

I would choose a horizontal bar graph for ranking. When looking at claims by service category, Curative Care Visits would be the most frequent (for both zones). Speech Therapy would be the least frequent in the Northern Zone. The least frequent service category would be Inpatient Obstetrics and Inpatient Medical for the Eastern Zone.

[Elizabeth Petit]

I would choose a vertical bar graph. Curative Care visits are the most frequent in the Eastern and Northern zones. In the Eastern Zone, Inpatient Obstetrics and Inpatient Medical are the least frequent claim types. In the Northern Zone, Speech Therapy is the least frequent claim type.
