As a data manager, you are often tasked with developing graphs for various projects, committees, and focus groups. The Revenue Taskforce would like you to develop a set of graphs to analyze the number of patient visits, length of stay, and payment methods. You will compile a presentation of findings for the next meeting.

- Create a 6-8 slide PowerPoint presentation to include:
- Title slide
