About the Course

A strong argument can be made that the health care field is one of the most information-intensive sectors in the U.S. economy and avoidance of the rapid advances in information technology is no longer an option. Consequently, the study of health care information technology and systems has become central to health care delivery effectiveness. This course covers the modern application of information technology that is critical to supporting the vision and operational knowledge of the health care leaders in managing the health care organization. Heath care decision-makers have to meet head-on the dynamic challenges of health care delivery quality, cost, access, and regulatory control. Additionally, this course integrates the Healthcare Information System as integral to the Quality Assurance Tracking Programs including measurement of systems inputs, processes, and outputs with special emphasis on systems outcomes research and organizational accountability to its various stakeholders, not the least of which are government regulators....

This class was exactly what I was looking for to bridge my years of experience as an IT project manager to the Healthcare Sector. The class was engaging, and I specifically appreciated the format of the combination of lectures with interviews and panel discussions.

My suggestion... this class was recorded a couple years ago. In 2020, as the world has been hit hard with the covid epidemic, clearly that has included the Healthcare industry. I recommend adding a new module at the end of this course that updates 2020. For example in 2020 Telehealth has become a very real requirement - what has gone well and what has not.

I believe this course positions me well as I'm now looking for future opportunities as a Healthcare IT PM. I've already referred to information from the course during multiple job interviews.

It may be good idea and useful to include a module on how to use IT in healthcare for audit of treatment protocols.

This course was a no-brainer. Of course new technologies are going to be introduced into the medical profession. That's a given. I feel there was no need for this course.

Felt more like interviews and data being gathered from me than a course.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A THOROUGHLY INFORMATIVE COURSE.

MAY I OFFER SOME SUGGESTIONS: IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO GET A TIME REFERENCE IN WHICH THIS COURSE WAS RECORDED. THIS WILL HELP PUT COMMENTS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF WHERE THE TECHNOLOGY IS. SECONDLY IT WOULD BE NICE TO SUMMARISE THE FINDINGS IN A PDF DOCUMENTS AS DISCUSSIONS CAN BE LONG AND LOADED. IT WOULD ALSO BE USEFUL TO RUN DISCUSSIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATES IN MIND, THERFORE INCLUDING, FOR EXAPMLE, EXPERIENCES FROM EUROPE AND THE FAR EAST OR OTHERS WHERE NECESSARY.

THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE

As a person new to healthcare I enjoyed the course as it helped me to better understand the complexities of implementing eHealth as well as providing a snapshot of where the industry has come from and where it is moving. I especially enjoyed round tables and interviews. As a suggestion I would appreciate to hear nurse's perspectives as well and maybe aged-care facility carer too -- someone who does not necessary has input into the development but has to deal with the product -- most of the current interviews were with people in leadership positions or physicians.

Thank you for everyone involved in the making of this course, which has Really amazing insights and sharing from different perspectives in healthcare informatics which now I think is our priority, not to put doctors or healthcare individuals aside, but to reinforce them even more. I am definitely going to try my best to get involved and dive deeper into Health IT. May everyone be blessed and once again, thank you. Greetings from Indonesia

The course material was presented in a format that was easy to digest. There is a right balance of information on health and tech. None of the videos were overwhelming in content nor length.

I gained a lot of health related terms and information just from listening to the presenters. I have a tech background but I had no difficulty following conversations where medical or health related terms or examples were used.

A great course to get one started on different aspects of Health Care IT. The format of the course, especially, the interviews and panel discussions are a great way to enable students get multiple perspectives in a short time frame. The course instructors, Bruce Darrow and Nicholas Genes made this course interesting and worthwhile.

I have enjoyed this course very much. My real interest has been in EHR and the information they went over was great. I enjoyed seeing the slides and also learning the history. Also, I have taken a few courses on Big Data and it was a good refresher hearing the information again from another source.

Its one of the most comprehensive course on Healthcare IT. The transformations taking place both in the field of medical research and in the engineering sciences are being connected seamlessly by use of health informatics, device interfacing and use of health analytics in a big way

Great content delivered with excellent clarity. And I like the emphasis on interviews with experts. I should have taken this course before completing my masters thesis. My life would have been so much easier. Thanks to Doctors Darrow and Genes.

A good introduction to exploring EMR systems and world of tele-health. Would like to see your next courses give perspective from other healthcare professionals (nurses, pharmacists, and PAs) providing suggestions and feedback.
