Culture of Healthcare

The Culture of Healthcare course was taught using the first two units of the Open Learning Initiative Health Information Technology Foundations online course and served as a first course in both the Therapeutic and Informatics pathways. Health Information Technology Foundations was developed with funding from the Open Professionals Education Network (OPEN), which is funded by the Gates Foundation to support Department of Labor (DoL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College & Career Training (TAACCCT) grantees. OPEN is funding the collaboration of Open Learning Initiative (OLI), Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST), and Creative Commons (CC) to work with TAACCCT grantees Bellevue College and MoHealthWins consortium members St. Louis Community College and Metropolitan Community College - KC. This course builds on source content created with funding from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and CAHIMS curriculum created by Bellevue College with funding from the National Science Foundation. The course consists of Unit 1, Introduction and Learning Strategies and Unit 2, Healthcare Environment. Unit 2 includes modules in Healthcare Delivery, Healthcare Payment Systems, Roles of Healthcare Professionals, and Government Regulations including HIPAA.
