Clinical Data-Mining (CDM) involves the conceptualization,
extraction, analysis, and interpretation of available clinical data
for practice knowledge-building, clinical decision-making and
practitioner reflection. Depending upon the type of data mined, CDM
can be qualitative or quantitative; it is generally retrospective,
but may be meaningfully combined with original data collection.
Any research method that relies on the contents of case records or
information systems data inevitably has limitations, but with
proper safeguards these can be minimized. Among CDM's strengths
however, are that it is unobtrusive, inexpensive, presents little
risk to research subjects, and is ethically compatible with
practitioner value commitments. When conducted by practitioners,
CDM yields conceptual as well as data-driven insight into their own
practice- and program-generated questions.
This pocket guide, from a seasoned practice-based researcher,
covers all the basics of conducting practitioner-initiated CDM
studies or CDM doctoral dissertations, drawing extensively on
published CDM studies and completed CDM dissertations from multiple
social work settings in the United States, Australia, Israel, Hong
Kong and the United Kingdom. In addition, it describes consulting
principles for researchers interested in forging collaborative
university-agency CDM partnerships, making it a practical tool for
novice practitioner-researchers and veteran academic-researchers
alike.
As such, this book is an exceptional guide both for professionals
conducting practice-based research as well as for social work
faculty seeking an evidence-informed approach to practice-research
integration.
