III. Rationale for Course: The healthcare delivery system has been transformed by the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The technology has created a demand for workers with skills in data capture, data analysis, and data storage and how the data is useful in the healthcare system. This course was designed as a result of the Tech Hire grant to place disadvantaged students on a career path towards a certification. It will introduce students to the role of health informatics and the opportunities that will exist now and in the future. The plan is to run the course as a special topics course that will eventually become a part of the HIT curriculum. If students persist in the HIT curriculum they will be on the pathway that leads to a certification. Students in the Information Technology curriculum will be recruited for this course as well.

IV. Description of Course: This course will introduce the students to the Health Care Delivery system. The documentation in electronic health records using data elements, data sets and databases will be identified and defined. Health informatics will be presented along with the purpose and function of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and all laws, standards, regulations and technology that govern the new health care delivery model. No prerequisite.
