Intro to Digital Technology in Healthcare, Plain & Simple

Intro to Digital Technology in Healthcare, Plain & Simple

Did you ever want someone to explain to you, in non-technical terms what a bit and a byte really is and what does it have to do with healthcare?  Did you ever wonder how "clouds" actually store data and how you shrink the data to fit in?  How about organizing all that data so you can derive something useful from it all?   If so, this is the course for you.

These technologies if implemented correctly have the potential of making healthcare processes more efficient and maximizing patient and user experience. If implemented incorrectly, they can wreak havoc.

Learn the basic concepts behind data bits and bytes, data storage devices, compression and data management.

• Bits and Bytes

• Storage Media

• Compression

• Databases

• Data Management

• Centralized vs Distributed Architecture

This course includes:

• Video lectures walking you through the various aspects of wireless

• Quiz to test your retention

• Significant number of resources to do a deeper dive into his topic.

Whether you are new to the healthcare profession or looking to advance your career in healthcare or are an established healthcare professional eager to learn more about the potential of this new technology, this course is perfect for you. The course is targeted for those unfamiliar with technical jargon but still wanting to learn about this new technology and its application to healthcare organizations.

My approach to teaching is a very pragmatic one explaining difficult concepts in an “easy to understand” format.  This and my other courses are founded on my 35 years experience in the healthcare industry growing my career from development engineer through president.  It is also based on my 15 years teaching business and healthcare at the graduate level at 2 Universities.

Learn the fundamentals of data, data compression, databases and data architecture in digital healthcare.
