Business Process Management in Healthcare Organizations Coursera

Overview

The Business Process Management in Healthcare Organizations course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rutgers the State University of New Jersey format is readings, videos, quizzes, and a project.

The project requires you to synthesize course material to design patient-centered business processes for a healthcare organization the way you would have things run in the best of all worlds. 

The design (submitted as an electronic word processing document in memo format) is an artifact of the course which you can circulate to colleagues or use as the basis for a talk or presentation event.
