Measurement issues. Data, even numerically coded variables, can be one of 4 levels - nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impact the kind of analysis we can do with the data.

These factors are things that happen outside the walls of the organization that have on impact on the operational functions of the organization. Most of these factors cannot be prevented by the organization, but are caused by outside sources. External factors for the Memorial Hermann organization are things such as the ever-changing diversity of the Houston, Texas population, government laws and regulations over health insurance and health care acts, and the continuous changes in health care technology.

As a result, they are more sensitive to things around them that other people are not, which are called triggers. There are numerous types of triggers and they can vary between people with asthma.

In this essay I will be talking about the effects of social determinants of health and health inequalities within my area of practice or my neighbourhood. The social determinants of health are the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live and work. These include housing, education, financial security and the built up environment as well as the health system.
