Selection of Healthcare Organizations Discussion Assignment Project

Selection of Healthcare Organizations Discussion Assignment Project

 

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is world renowned, and has several locations within the United States. The first hospital was open in 1962 and one of its primary focuses was sickle cell disease and leukemia, as well as other cancers for pediatric patients. St. Jude’s is well known for the care and treatment of children, and ensuring that parents of patients are never billed for the services they provide.

This also includes meals and housing for the families of patients during treatment. Within the first year of the hospital year of operation, more than thirty research projects have been instituted, with four completed (St. Jude, 2022).

 

Selection of Public Facing Data

 

Childhood cancer is something that no family wants to go through for their child, yet it happens all the same for far too many families. The Public Access Data Tables that will be used for this project will show the information collected and analyzed from the participants in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS).

The information found within the tables will be organized by the type pf cancer, gender, age, years since diagnosis, age of diagnosis and what treatments were given. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was chosen due to the enormous amount of work and dedication put into increasing survival rates for pediatric cancer patients, and the amount of information available on their research, past and present.
