Certificate Course in Healthcare Informatics
HCitC has, for the first time in India come out with a
'Fast Track' Intensive Certificate course in Healthcare Informatics
that 
takes in a lay person and converts him into a
Healthcare Informatician with the option to earn an Internationally
accepted US Certification in a Healthcare Interoperability language,
in not months or years but just weeks! Such high value courses are
generally leisurely taught, a few hours a day, over one year
or more. We however understand the concerns and difficulties
faced by working individuals who are desperately trying to improve
their skill-sets to land better jobs. That is why our course
is on a fast track mode that bring you up to par in JUST
2.5 months! You thus have the best of both worlds, you can continue
to work while learning online, in addition to classroom trainings by
expert Instructors.
This course is designed for individuals with little or no background in healthcare Informatics who are determined to break into, and grow in this highly challenging yet lucrative field. The course is a powerful, instructor led face to face training along with online email based followup. This course has a minimum class size to ensure one-to-one trainer-student interaction. The three groups of people who will gain most from this course are:
1.
Doctors (allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic, etc), dental
surgeons, nurses
and other paramedical professionals like lab assistants,
physiotherapists and dieticians.
2. Graduates and Post graduates with an MBA, BBA, BSc, MSc, BA or MA
3. Qualified IT professional who want to move into Healthcare Informatics
A well known IOM (US) report states that as much as
98,000 patients die in US hospitals due to medical errors! We know
today that many of these errors can be avoided, and quality of
healthcare improved by the use of Healthcare Informatics.
So what is Healthcare Informatics?
Healthcare informatics is a challenging sunrise domain that combines skill-sets from healthcare, informatics, communications and business administration. The goal of Healthcare is to provide quality based patient care which is based on efficient access to, and use of clinical information to make appropriate and efficient clinical decisions. Healthcare Informatics strategizes, implements, optimizes and maintains IT applications, processes and systems that support the above mentioned goal. This goal presupposes availability of adequate resources trained in Healthcare Informatics.
Regrettably there is an acute shortage of such trained resources, in India, the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Europe and China, in fact literally globally. This shortage is especially acute in the US where the President has mandated a massive thrust in Healthcare Informatics and has provided adequate funding for the same. Unfortunately, there are limited schools that train Healthcare Informaticians and most of them are in the US, UK and other western countries. Most programs are of between 1 to 2 years and require either online or full time on-site study.
Healthcare careers are well paying. However the path to a well-paying job is long and hard. You can now take the short cut to quickly acquiring skill-sets in the field of health informatics. This fast track 13 week course helps you out-shine other candidates in any interview for high paying Healthcare Informatics jobs in India, the US, UK, Australia, Canada and other European countries. The demand for these resources is there at every hospital, health insurer, Healthcare IT corporate, and pharmaceutical company. Professionals like doctors, nurses, para-medicals, coders, IT programmers, project managers, analysts marketing experts who obtain proper education and training are more likely to realize the benefits of multiple employment opportunities. See the news article below to understand the demand, just in the US. India on the other hand is in the growing phase and has a potential demand at every hospital and HC IT company. That itself will translate to more than six to twelve times the number required in the US.
The student is provided a proper foundation in computer programming concepts followed by an in-depth study of current and upcoming topics of Healthcare Informatics. A generous amount of time is spent on hands-on workshops* and real-world concepts that provide the student with the confidence to work on live projects. The total focus of this course is on Job oriented implementation skillsets rather than outdated theoretical knowledge. Our course makes the student a confident link between the clinical professionals and IT personnel. (It is assumed that the student understands English, has a basic understanding of computers and can use basic apps like a web browser and an email client)
