Healthcare Consumerism and Implication for Care Delivery
4.8
6 个评分
In this course we will examine the changing role of the consumer in healthcare. Consumers are asking for more accountability in how healthcare is delivered and paid for. Healthcare professionals must make sure that they are delivering high quality, personalized care.
Some of the topics we'll cover are: the healthcare ecosystem, new technologies in healthcare, the development of new payment models, change management in healthcare, data analytics.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
1. Explain the new role of consumers in healthcare delivery in order to respond to the demands in this changing industry

Future Healthcare Payment Models
This course will review the drivers of healthcare cost and solutions that have been proposed to address cost, quality and value of health care. Many point blame for high costs on payment models that pay healthcare providers for every service they provide to patients, essentially paying more for volume and service intensity. This is called a Fee for Service (FFS) payment model. Some solutions, arguably the more sustainable solutions, are the combined strategies of new payment models, care management, insurance plan designs, consumer engagement tools, and technology.
Using that information we will explore various situations, showcasing coordinated care and payment strategies that can be implemented to improve patient health and the cost of delivery of healthcare services.
By the end of this course, the learner should be able to:
1. Identify the drivers and trends of healthcare spending from the perspective of various stakeholders, including medical providers, insurers, government and private purchasers and payments
2. Critically assess the impact of strategic and financial approaches that have been put in place by the ACA and the various modifications.
3. Evaluate how healthcare payment models currently work and the new direction that value-based payment is taking.
4.Identify how financial and non-financial metrics can be appropriately combined to improve a healthcare stakeholders’ value proposition.

Business Application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
The future of healthcare is becoming dependent on our ability to integrate Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence into our organizations. But it is not enough to recognize the opportunities of AI; we as leaders in the healthcare industry have to first determine the best use for these applications ensuring that we focus our investment on solving problems that impact the bottom line.
