Data in hospitals
clinical and operational data: EHR and claims data, quality and outcomes measurement, interoperability, and privacy under HIPAA.
This block builds data fluency for healthcare provider organizations such as hospitals, physician groups, and integrated delivery networks. You will learn how core data concepts apply to clinical, operational, and claims environments, then map the datasets that actually drive provider decisions: EHR records, HL7 and FHIR feeds, claims, registries, and quality reporting streams. You will assess data quality and governance using measures suited to patient-level information, and benchmark analytics against recognized provider standards. The block closes with the regulatory and privacy rules that constrain provider data, including HIPAA, plus the governance structures and practical audits that keep clinical data trustworthy, interoperable, and compliant across care settings.
