(3 credit hours) MI 5128—Health Informatics Compliance The healthcare industry is subject to many complex regulations. Risks of noncompliance include fines, reputational damage, loss of licensure and more. This course will provide an overview of the relevant health informatics requirements and regulatory agencies including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), and Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, False Claims Act and more when auditing and developing programs. Students will gain an understanding of the healthcare compliance program elements as it pertains to health informatics, essential components of standards, policies and procedures, audits, and monitoring risk-based plan, as well as conflicts of interest process. Case studies will be utilized to prepare student for the Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC)® exam. Prerequisite(s): MI 5100 or equivalent health informatics foundational knowledge. (3 credit hours) MI 5130—Database Systems in Health Care This course covers basic to intermediate knowledge of the concept, the design and the implementation of database applications in health care. Students will study tools and data models for designing databases such as E-R Model and SQL. The course also covers Relational DBMS systems such as SQL Server, Access, Oracle, and mySQL. Database connectivity design (essential in data-driven web development) and database administration will also be introduced. Students will practice designing, developing, and implementing a test relational online health IT database application (myHealth) through a comprehensive project that contains the above topics. (3 credit hours) MI 5132—Health Care Data Preparation and Wrangling Class participants will learn many tools and techniques to improve and standardize data prep and wrangling efforts. They will learn to prepare, clean, wrangle, and transform health care data sets from data providers into a more valuable, accurate, appropriate, and cleansed format that is best suited for further credible analysis and research. Students will learn to apply dozens of data prep and wrangling tools on an actual, live, home-health care data set that is the center of attention for an active home health care research project. They will learn and practice the following five steps required to prepare raw data for a health care analysis and research project: 1. Define the problem. 2. Collect the data. 3. Prep and wrangle the data. 4. Verify final data quality. 5. Write a data wrangling activity report. Students will also learn how to use statistical analysis software for all data prep and wrangling activities and will be required to create a final, comprehensive data wrangling activity report structured as a larger final class project. (3 credit hours) MI 5152—Information Security in Health Care The course will cover concepts, applications, and techniques of data security in health care systems. Topics include health care industry, regulatory environment, decision-making, policy assurance, information management, access control, risks and vulnerabilities management, database security, web security, personnel and physical security issues, and issues of law and privacy. Areas of particular focus include secure health care system design, implementation, data encryption and decryption, attacks, and techniques for responding to security breaches. (3 credit hours) MI 5153—Telecommunications and Computer Networking in Health Care The understanding of telecommunications and networking is imperative for adequate functioning of health care organizations. This is due to the convergence of computing, data management, telecommunications, and the growing applications of information technology in the health care arena and medical facilities. The knowledge of these key areas of information systems also becomes essential for competitive advantage. This course combines the basic technical concepts of data communications, telecommunications, and networking with the health care IT management aspects and practical applications. (3 credit hours) MI 5160—System Analysis and Design for Health Care The need to create effective, new solutions and innovative interventions to deliver quality patient care outside of the traditional medical setting is at the forefront of society today. The basis of this course will be to provide a solid educational foundation for systems design and analysis, as it relates to current and future health care systems. In addition, this course will build upon the fundamental systems design and analysis principles to explore current and future health care systems that will include integration of disparate clinical health care systems, mobile technologies, and a combination of remotemonitoring technology, sensors, and online communications and intelligence to improve patient adherence, engagement, and clinical outcomes.
