Healthcare Technology Fundamentals – OLI
Carnegie Mellon University and The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) have collaborated to offer this Healthcare Technology Foundations (HTF) course. The course offers an overview of healthcare, health information technology, and health information management systems. The focus is on the role and responsibilities of entry-level health IT specialists in each phase of the health information management systems lifecycle. The curriculum is intended to be similar to the Certified Associate in Healthcare Information and Management Systems (CAHIMS) certification administered by HIMSS. This course is designed for students who have previous experience in IT or healthcare and it is designed to serve as a pathway into health IT careers. It also provides a broad understanding of health IT for individuals in non-IT related roles in healthcare.
These materials are available as an OLI course.
