Healthcare Seminar I

Catalog description

This on-line course will build upon continuous quality improvement concepts introduced in ATRN 6XX: Standards of Professional Practice and take a more complex and holistic look how these concepts serve as a basis for providing quality patient care. Students will also exam how healthcare informatics provide additional and important data points for analyzing patient progress and making clinical decisions. Taken simultaneously with the first clinical immersion experience, this course provides a conduit for exploring how healthcare informatics and continuous quality improvement strategies and methods are being implemented in real time with real patients. These concepts are embedded and reinforced in advanced coursework taken the second year of the program.
