Telehealth

Telehealth is the transmission of health-related services or information over the telecommunications infrastructure. The term covers both telemedicine, which includes remote patient monitoring, and non-clinical elements of the healthcare system, such as education. Telehealth examinations can be performed by physicians, nurses or other healthcare professionals over a videoconference connection to answer a patient's specific question about their condition. A telehealth visit can also be a remote substitute for a regular physician exam or as a follow-up visit to a previous care episode. Convenience, for both sides of the care equation, is one of the major benefits of telehealth. Patients can communicate with physicians from their homes, or the patient can travel to a nearby public telehealth kiosk where a physician can conduct a thorough inspection of the patient's well-being. In the United States, differences in state telemedicine licensure laws complicate the practice of telehealth. Some states require physicians to have full medical licenses to be able to practice telemedicine, while other states mandate physicians have special telemedicine licenses. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for telehealth services, such as remote checkups, has slowly been catching up to the level of in-person healthcare and the majority of states provide some amount of financial reimbursement to providers who perform telehealth visits. The American Medical Association is one of the major healthcare groups that called for standards to be applied to telehealth to give patients more access to remote care services. The American Telemedicine Association, established in 1993, promotes the delivery of care through remote means and hosts a yearly conference on the latest news and developments in telehealth. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) also supports the development of telehealth. A bill introduced in Congress in 2015 would allow qualified VA health professionals to treat U.S. veterans without requiring the patient and physician to be in the same state.

Logistic regression is a statistical analysis method used to predict a data value based on prior observations of a data set. A logistic regression model predicts a dependent data variable by analyzing the relationship between one or more existing independent variables.
For example, a logistic regression could be used to predict whether a political candidate will win or lose an election or whether a high school student will be admitted to a particular college. The resulting analytical model can take into consideration multiple input criteria -- in the case of college acceptance, things such as the student's grade point average, SAT score and number of extracurricular activities. Based on historical data about earlier outcomes involving the same input criteria, it then scores new cases on their probability of falling into a particular outcome category.
Logistic regression has become an important tool in the discipline of machine learning. The approach allows an algorithm being used in a machine learning application to classify incoming data based on historical data. As more relevant data comes in, the algorithm should get better at predicting classifications within data sets. For that reason, logistic regression has become particularly popular in online advertising, enabling marketers to predict as a yes or no percentage the likelihood of specific website users who will click on particular advertisements.

Logistic regression can also play a role in data preparation activities by allowing data sets to be put into specifically predefined buckets during the extract, transform and load process in order to stage the information for analysis.

Common Logical Fallacies

Brief Definitions of Informal Fallacies With Links to Examples and Discussions

Straw man is a fallacy in which an opponent's argument is overstated or misrepresented in order to be more easily attacked or refuted. (Dimitri Otis/Getty Images)

by Richard Nordquist

Updated August 14, 2017

For those who need a little refresher, here are some of the most common informal logical fallacies.

It may have happened to you while reading comments on a blog, watching a political commercial, or listening to a talking head on a chat show. A mental alarm goes off signaling that what you're reading, watching, or listening to is utter claptrap and twaddle.

For me, the BS alert sounded when I ran across these random observations in the "Vox Populi" column of the local newspaper:

• Learning how to swim does not guarantee you won't drown. I'm 55 years old, have never learned to swim and I haven't drowned.
• We need to pass a law that stupid people are not allowed to own pets.
• I'm aggravated with spaghetti sauce with vegetables. I love vegetables, but I don't want them in my spaghetti sauce. Where's our freedom going?
• Regarding the person who had to "tote" stuff at Wal-Mart; tote? Carry. What is wrong with people? You don't "tote" stuff, you carry it.
• The English language is the only language that should be spoken in the open and none other. This is the United States of America.
• Those of us who are true taxpaying, working Americans need to stand up and demand that people should have certain education, I.Q. and income levels to be able to vote for president or any major political office.
• Anyone who thinks that interest in books is waning hasn't paid much attention. I love the show Face the Nation and they recently had eight authors on!

• Isn't it amazing that Savannah is ranked as 10 on America's most snobbish city [list] and that 10 percent of Savannah's population are Yankees?
• Obama shouldn't go to Martha's Vineyard. Every time he does, something major happens.

At these head-slapping moments, it may help to recall some of those informal logical fallacies that we once studied in school.

At least then we can put a name to the nonsense.

In case you need a little refresher, here are 12 common fallacies. For examples and detailed discussions, click on the highlighted terms.

1. Ad Hominem
   A personal attack: that is, an argument based on the perceived failings of an adversary rather than on the merits of the case.
2. Ad Misericordiam
   An argument that involves an irrelevant or highly exaggerated appeal to pity or sympathy.
3. Bandwagon
   An argument based on the assumption that the opinion of the majority is always valid: everyone believes it, so you should too.
4. Begging the Question
   A fallacy in which the premise of an argument presupposes the truth of its conclusion; in other words, the argument takes for granted what it's supposed to prove. Also known as a circular argument.
5. Dicto Simpliciter
   An argument in which a general rule is treated as universally true regardless of the circumstances: a sweeping generalization.
6. False Dilemma
   A fallacy of oversimplification: an argument in which only two alternatives are provided when in fact additional options are available. Sometimes called the either-or fallacy.
7. Name Calling
   A fallacy that relies on emotionally loaded terms to influence an audience.
8. Non Sequitur
   An argument in which a conclusion doesn't follow logically from what preceded it.

1. Post Hoc
   A fallacy in which one event is said to be the cause of a later event simply because it occurred earlier.
2. Red Herring
   An observation that draws attention away from the central issue in an argument or discussion.
3. Stacking the Deck
   A fallacy in which any evidence that supports an opposing argument is simply rejected, omitted, or ignored.
4. Straw Man
   A fallacy in which an opponent's argument is overstated or misrepresented in order to be more easily attacked or refuted.
