- W2601431490 abstract "IntroductionMany objective health officials would not contest that they have poor statistical presentation and analytical ability, especially in third world countries. It would also be stating the obvious that many informed stakeholders detest poor record keeping and management habits. For quite sometime, vital quantitative facts and figures that could aid corporate decision making in many establishments are haphazardly stocked in stale diaries, worn-out files, broken drawers, and allied make-shift locations. When they are called for, it obviously consumes so much precious time, tracing and sorting them out, hence the frequent cases dccisional delays and operational hiccups characteristic of emergency transactions.Against this background, the creation of Planning, Research, and Statistics (PRS) Departments in Nigerian public health institutions in Nigeria remains a grand design to alleviate, or at least palliate these misgivings in the country. Statistics and statistical methods constitute veritable scientific tools required for constructive corporate decisions, and pragmatic management of operational problems. Consequently, the process of managing such data, which include anticipation, collection, collation, and presentation; would be counter-productive if the presentation is confusing, haphazard, or meaningless to the users (Spurr and Bonini1, Ezo2, Agundu3).Stakeholders generally expect quantitative (financial) statistics to be well preserved and presented in a manner that is simplistic, straight forward, and easy to be contracted, extracted, and utilized where and when the need arises. This has become most imperative in recent times as corporate decisions relating to public dispensaries is fraught with unprecedented complexities, uncertainties, and risky realities. This study addressed these issues with a view to providing useful insights on financial and allied quantitative statistical data presentation typologies. Hypothetical illustrations on the various typologies are made to facilitate appreciation and application by incumbent and potential administrators/managers institutions. The comprehensive hypothetical prepositions (CHP) elicited, in null perspectives, were:CHPO 1: Top public health dispensary officials do not lack basic statistical skills;CHPO 2: Top public health dispensary officials are not treated to regular statistical appreciation/applications training programmes;CHPO 3: Emphasis on financial statistics literacy in the Nigerian public health dispensaries is not as pragmatic as the emphasis on computer literacy;CHPO 4: Financial Statistics literacy will not significantly enhance the decision making ability of top public health dispensary officials in Nigeria.Perspectives/Illustrations on Statistical Data Presentation MechanismsObviously, most aspects of public health operations involve decision making, requiring reference to past, present, and future facts, figures, and trends. While data represents any group of measurements that provide informational insights and other decisional needs of health dispensary officials, the efficient and effective generation and utilization of the right data, in the right place, in the right manner, and at the right time is what is professionally referred to as statistics (Enns4, Agundu5). Thus, statistics and statistical methods have been found to be very useful in health institutional processes, such as those relating to:* hospital book-keeping/accounting,* hospital budgeting/project management,* census/populations control,* family planning/home management,* health investment analysis/portfolio management,* health education administration,* health products/services quality control,* health job evaluation/performance appraisal,* health public relations/economics, and* general social welfare management/administration.Paradoxically, we live in a world of statistics, where it could be ontologically contended that there are as much statistics as there are human and non-human (socio-industrial) activities and eventualities. …" @default.
