GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN HEALTH DATA QUALITY


SECURE AND TRUSTWORTHY HEALTHCARE DATA IMPACTS PROGRESSIVE CARE.

The Graduate Certificate in Health Data Quality exposes modernized healthcare
technology trends, applies healthcare quality framework in real-life
applications, and teaches best practices for advancing patient experience of
care in compliance with intricate legal regulations.

Healthcare data is the fastest growing data segment across all occupations as a
result of widespread use of digitized communication, health records, and patient
care. Many health systems indicate there will be a continued annual acceleration
of health-related data by patients and consumers across the globe.

Overall, the volume of global health data is expected to grow at a rate of 48%
annually, with the average person contributing over one million gigabytes of
data in their lifetime—equivalent to about 300 million books.

Healthcare data will continue to mature and become more complex. Meeting the
challenges facing healthcare will demand the agility, learning, and contemporary
thinking taught in this program.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATE CURRICULUM

The Graduate Certificate in Health Data Quality requires you to complete 12
credit hours of required courses:


HIN 605: INTRODUCTION TO HEALTH INFORMATICS (CREDITS: 3)

This course introduces students to central health informatics tools, techniques,
and concepts used to improve health outcomes through technology. Students
explore various healthcare technology platforms, how data is used in healthcare,
and how the need for cybersecurity and health data privacy shape the information
infrastructure that powers modern healthcare. This course offers students a
framework for deeper understanding of many of the concepts explored in
subsequent coursework.


HCA 610: HEALTHCARE QUALITY FOR ENHANCED VALUE-BASED PATIENT OUTCOMES (CREDITS:
3)

This course explores the dynamic between healthcare delivery and the leveraging
of informatics for enhanced patient outcomes. Given increased scrutiny on
empirical value-based care metrics for payer reimbursement, informatics data and
its strategic utilization will be key in the new continuum of care models.
Students will complete this course with a solid understanding of healthcare
quality standards, the regulations around those standards, and how they are
affected by the use of technology and data analysis. Key themes will include the
latest quality of care compliance trends like promoting interoperability,
patient generated health data, participatory medicine, and leveraging population
health metrics for quality improvement.


HIN 735: MEASURING USER EXPERIENCE (CREDITS: 3)

User experience UX metrics are key to designing and improving mission-critical
information systems used by many people within the organization. In this course,
students will learn techniques for measuring user experience both quantitatively
and qualitatively, and for analyzing that data to reveal deep understandings
about user behavior with particular systems. Students will move beyond merely
understanding user behavior by learning and practicing techniques for
influencing user behavior toward desirable interactions and outcomes. Students
will learn how measuring and influencing the user experience can significantly
improve mission-critical data quantity and quality.


HCA 760: HEALTHCARE FINANCE AND REVENUE CYCLE STRATEGY (CREDITS: 3)

This course explores the fundamentals of finance and economics in a health care
system at both the local system and national levels. Healthcare leadership
increasingly depends upon deep and strategic understanding of the complex payor
systems that provide revenue to their organizations. Students will gain
expertise crafting strategic approaches to managing market supply and demand,
the economics of care and managed care, budgeting, accounting, and fiscal
reporting.

 

All courses are graduate level and taught in eight-week terms. The Health Data
Quality certificate is two semesters in length, which is the time equivalent of
eight months (presuming you choose to take a regular course load consisting of
one course each eight-week term, two courses per semester). However, to
accelerate earning your certificate, you may complete the program in four to six
months by taking more than one course each eight-week term.


CHOOSE YOUR OWN START TIME

The Graduate Certificate in Health Data Quality can fit into your busy schedule
with multiple start times throughout the year. UNE Online offers rolling
admission with three separate start times—Spring, Summer, and Fall—so you can
begin as soon as you’re ready to start.
