HCIS 235 Care Coordination and Interoperable Health IT Systems (2 Hours)
This course discusses care coordination as the deliberate organization of secure patient care activities between two or more participants involved in a patient’s care (including the patient) to facilitate the appropriate delivery of healthcare services. This course provides an overview of interoperable health information technology (IT), that is patient-centered, making the right data available to the right people at the right time, across products and organizations, in a way that is secure and resilient to cyber threats. This course also explores the impact of rapidly developing emerging technologies, such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, on health IT and care coordination. The ability to seamlessly share health information is essential to building a patient-centered, interoperable health IT ecosystem in the United States, thus facilitating coordination of care.
