  2. Design & analysis core • This core is to support projects that foster improved delivery of healthcare to patients served by the LSU Hospitals and Clinics. • FUNCTIONS:-Generation of ideas and tests of hypotheses using data from the LSU Hospitals and Clinics as well as those requiring collection of new data • -Consultation on the design of clinical outcomes and other related projects with provision of statistical analysis of data generated by these LSU ICON projects • -Consultation and support for design and analysis of LSU ICON projects involving behavioral factors and/or behavioral modification

  5. Design & analysis core • All requests for design & analysis core services should be made through Dr. Terry Fontham (efonth@lsuhsc.edu). Assignment of core specialists will be based on area of expertise needed for a project existing workload, location convenience, and other. • Completion of the Core services Request Form • Many projects will require interactive consultation between the investigator and the Medical Informatics Core (what variables are currently available and which are not) and the Design & Analysis Core (clarify the question to be addressed, project design, determination of need for collection of new data,or record linkages, sample size estimation, statistical methods and data analysis, and other services as needed)
