More in Healthcare & Hospital Management
Hospital Operations Management
Hospitals fail patients more often through flow than through clinical error: beds, theatres and discharges that do not move. This course applies operations management to the hospital setting so that managers can find and fix the constraints.
Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety
Patient harm is usually the product of systems rather than individuals. This programme builds the quality and safety methods that reduce harm: measurement, incident learning, and improvement that lasts beyond the project.
Medical Records and Health Information Management
The medical record is a clinical tool, a legal document and a data source at the same time. This course covers the standards, coding and confidentiality obligations that keep health information accurate and usable.
