Which is the best type of graph to show ranking? Bar graph.

If we rank claims from most to least frequent, which service category would be at the top of the list (most frequent)? For the Northern Zone, Curative Care Visits.

Which would be at the bottom? For the Northern Zone, Speech Therapy.

Is this true for both Eastern and Northern Zones, or do the rankings differ? For the Eastern Zone, the service category at the top is same as Northern: Curative Care Visits, and the service category at the bottom are: Inpatient Medical & Inpatient Obstetrics.

[Masis Parunyan]

The best type of graph to show rankings with are bar charts, with the categories organized from greatest or most frequent to least. One could possibly consider using a pie chart, as well, depending on one’s goals.

Based on claims in the Northern zone, the most frequent would be Curative Care Visits, and the least would be Speech Therapy.

Based on claims in the Eastern zone, the most frequent would still be Curative Care Visits, but here the least frequent would be tied between Inpatient Medical and Inpatient Obstetrics visits.
