Health Data and Electronic Health Records(EHR) for Beginners
This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds understand and apply health data, Electronic Health Records (EHR), and core healthcare IT (HIT) concepts in real-world healthcare settings. Whether you’re interested in Medical Records Management, Health informatics, FHIR/HL7 interoperability, or Healthcare Data Analytics for clinics and Telehealth, you’ll build a strong, practical foundation—focused on how care, data, and technology connect at the point of service.
You’ll learn how modern EHRs capture, store, and exchange clinical and administrative information; how data structures (encounters, orders, medications, problems) map to clinical taxonomies (ICD, CPT, SNOMED); and how interoperability works using HL7 v2 and FHIR APIs. The course moves from fundamentals (privacy, security, governance) to applied workflows (scheduling, documentation, orders, results, billing) and analytics (KPIs, dashboards) so you can see how value is created in real organizations.
Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, short demos, and scenario-based examples from EHR screens, clinical notes, and revenue cycle artifacts to reinforce learning. No prior medical or technical experience is required.
