A good introduction to Health Informatics. The peer-review aspect of the assignments was frustrating, as it took quite a while for those assignments to be graded. Otherwise, a very helpful course.

Information is good but just beware that you have to wait for other users to review your peer-graded assignment before you can get your certification. Still waiting on other random users to review so I can officially complete this certification. Poor set up.

It's such a fantastic course. This is an excellent overview of what they did when the United States was adopting the digitalization of health and an excellent basis for what to do when trying to implement new systems to the workflow.
