I thought this course gave a good amount of information to cover the subject as I knew nothing about HIT.
HI-FIVE: Health Informatics For Innovation, Value & Enrichment (Administrative/IT Perspective)
HI-FIVE (Health Informatics For Innovation, Value & Enrichment) Training is an approximately 10-hour online course designed by Columbia University in 2016, with sponsorship from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The training is role-based and uses case scenarios. No additional hardware or software are required for this course. Our nation’s healthcare system is changing at a rapid pace. Transformative health care delivery programs depend heavily on health information technology to improve and coordinate care, maintain patient registries, support patient engagement, develop and sustain data infrastructure necessary for multi-payer value-based payment, and enable analytical capacities to inform decision making and streamline reporting. The accelerated pace of change from new and expanding technology will continue to be a challenge for preparing a skilled workforce so taking this training will help you to stay current in the dynamic landscape of health care. This course is one of three related courses in the HI-FIVE training program, which has topics on population health, care coordination and interoperability, value-based care, healthcare data analytics, and patient-centered care. Each of the three courses is designed from a different perspective based on various healthcare roles. This third course is from an administrative or IT perspective, geared towards executives, managers, analysts, and staff that work in administration, business, finance, operations, data or IT. However, we encourage anyone working in healthcare, health IT, public health, and population health to participate in any of the three trainings.

Reviewed Jun 22, 2020Course is good, but material is too theoretical. Some more practical orientation is requested. Also, in some assessments, the choices/options given are too close and more than one appear appropriate, even after going through the lessons over and over again. Since 3 attempts are allowed, it becomes a matter of trail and error, rather than a well-informed decision, which it otherwise ought to be. Some case studies, even if only for reading (not grading), can be of immense help, especially if they offer some insights on the planning and implementation of HIT/HIE, etc.

Reviewed Oct 29, 2022This introductory course overlaps with and complements the HI-FIVE Clinical Perspective offering, also from the same institution, in terms of content. The focus of the material is on the technical-analytical aspects of health informatics that a conventional physician is not expected to grasp naturally. Like the Clinical Perspective course, finishing the material won’t make one operationally competent in health informatics. However, the bird’s-eye view it provides is highly appreciated. My main issue with the course, as with the Clinical Perspective offering, is that the presentation seemed bland. The content is also due for massive updating. Â

Reviewed Apr 2, 2017This course was very informative relative to coming healthcare system changes that deal with IT as well as the coming changes for transformation in payment models such as FFS to ACO etc. The other aspects of ethical concerns relative to public interest were very insightful as it outlines the challenges you face from enhanced productivity vs access to patient information in a public forum whereby the dat can be misused for gain or unnecessary wasteful tactics from those who do not possess the best veracity in the U.S. healthcare system infrastructure as we move to value-based care and potential increased capitation.

Reviewed Mar 8, 2022Excellent course although the narrative sometimes repeats the slides. A few of the quiz questions had muliple correct answers and no way to elect more than one radio button. Good examples and use cases from that perspective. A little naive on the IT side of implementations, but that was to be expected.

Reviewed May 4, 2020I definitely wasn't ready for it to be over! There was one section I believe in section 3 where the wrong text did not match up with the slides or the audio. I would have loved a little more time spent on understanding the calculation of risk adjusted index's as well as c-statistics. Other than that I definitely now know how much I don't know about the Informatics in Healthcare world but I'm definitely intrigued to learn more.
