Submission Type: Data Visualization created in Tableau Public (https://public.tableau.com/Links to an external site.) with reflection.
Details: This weeks assignment will demonstrate the use of data visualization techniques and their use in healthcare. APNs can use data visualization in presentations and reports for background on a population health problem. Simple or complex data sets with the right visualization enable people see, interact with, and better understand data, regardless of their level of expertise.

Data Visualization Software and Data Mining Techniques
Reflecting on the data visualization using Tableau, I would like to say that its application to Advanced Practice Nursing is critical in that it can help in highlighting the complex data into actionable insights. The process has showed that data visualizations can help the APNs in making decisions thereby improving patient care as well as enhance communication with both the patient and the interdisciplinary teams. Further, data visualization tools like tables, charts and heat maps allow the APNs to quickly grasp the trends or patterns in patient data. This is important in that it leads to more accurate diagnosis thereby allow the APNs to come up with effective plans for treatments and in managing chronic diseases.
