Article Abstract
IntroductionBiostatistics is an increasing focus in both the United States Medical Licensing exams (USMLE) and medical school curricula. Nonetheless, literature has documented that it is poorly understood among both practicing physicians and physician trainees. Our purpose is to narrow this knowledge gap by offering readers a "how-to" guide that both supplements essential biostatistics knowledge and assists in constructing research projects.MethodsIn Part II of our tandem manuscripts, we expand our Part I biostatistics analysis of research articles in the with explanations and practical use of biostatistics, addressing the most common statistical terms and tests used in the .ResultsUnderstanding biostatistics requires interpreting the type of study, type of data collected, statistical tests available for all types of data, and results of the statistical tests.ConclusionGaining proficiency in biostatistics will improve the precision of evidence-based medical outcomes, helping close the current knowledge gap among practicing physicians and trainees.

Introduction: Relational continuity of care (RCC) refers to the sustained therapeutic relationship between a patient and a clinician, which fosters trust, enhances communication and facilitates the accumulation of knowledge about the patient. RCC is associated with enhanced patient outcomes, reduced hospital admissions, lower mortality rates, decreased healthcare costs and improved patient experience. Despite these benefits, reorganisations within the NHS and workforce challenges have led to an increased reliance on multidisciplinary and part-time working, resulting in fragmented care and a decline in RCC.

Public policy and health care are demonstrably interconnected. Medical and surgical outcomes are inseparableable from the political processes and laws that govern our nation. Health care delivery and public health are shaped by public discourse in city councils, county commissions, and state/national legislatures and agencies.
