Annotated Data Bibliography Published 2/23/01. What possessed me to develop this one? Well, these are books devoted to data. I just had these scattered among the other books in Annotated Biostats, Stats and Epi bibliographies. I decided to consolidate them into one page for the data-driven.

Healthcare Quality A spin-off from my Information Quality Web page. It looks like the trend to looking at the quality of healthcare is taking on a more information-based twist. I believe this is because of HIPAA, and the concern people have over the privacy of health information.

Imagine a doctor having to make a diagnosis based on inaccurate information! I have re-organized both pages. Just added "The Provider's Guide to Quality & Culture (Cultural Competence)
