Healthcare Organizations and the Health System Coursera

Overview

Have you ever been in a healthcare waiting room and thought about how the organization could be more efficient?  For example, have you found yourself thinking about how to reduce the amount of time spent waiting?  Or do you work in a healthcare organization and find yourself thinking about how to improve the organization?  

If you have, this Healthcare Organizations and the Health System course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rutgers the State University of New Jersey is for you. Course content includes an overview of healthcare organizations, their administration and management, and their governance. 

Key facts

• The links also serve as resources you can take with you after you complete the course experience. And because everyone loves a road trip/field trip, there are also "virtual field trips" to the often hidden places of interest on the web.

• The course format is readings, videos, quizzes, and an electronic poster project.  The poster project requires you to synthesize course material to design a healthcare organization and governance structure the way you would have things run in the best of all worlds.

• The electronic poster file is an artifact of the course which you can circulate to colleagues or use for a talk or presentation event.
