Healthcare in the Digital Age

This course is designed to familiarize students with the ever-evolving range of technology in the healthcare delivery system as well as the health industry. While the course covers electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchanges (HIEs), the course is equally focused on the growing and diverse range of digital, virtual, and health information systems with the health industry. These topics are explored through the 4P (patient, provider, payer, population) perspective framework so students are prepared to progress in the digital age. The course concludes with a survey of strategies to connect the digital efforts in the health industry with digital efforts across multiple industries.
