Podcast Transcript

HOST: Welcome to our podcast, 'Unlocking Efficiency in Healthcare', where we explore the latest trends and innovations in electronic health records systems. I'm your host, and today, we're joined by an expert in the field, Dr. Rachel Lee, who leads our Professional Certificate in Designing Electronic Health Records Systems for Efficiency. Welcome, Rachel. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to share the benefits of our program with your listeners. HOST: So, let's dive right in. Our listeners are probably curious about what sets this course apart from others. Can you tell us a bit about the unique features of the program? GUEST: Absolutely. Our program is designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of EHR systems, from technical expertise to practical applications. We focus on design thinking principles and real-world challenges, which allows students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world problems. Plus, our faculty are industry experts with years of experience in the field. HOST: That sounds incredibly valuable. And what about the benefits for students? How can this course help them advance their careers? GUEST: By completing our program, students can gain the skills and knowledge to take on leadership roles in healthcare IT, consulting, or research. We've had students go on to become EHR system designers, healthcare IT project managers, and even start their own healthcare technology companies. HOST: Wow, that's impressive. And I know our listeners are probably thinking, 'How do I apply these skills in real-world scenarios?' Can you give us an example of how students can apply design thinking principles to EHR challenges? GUEST: One example is our 'EHR Redesign Challenge', where students work in teams to redesign an existing EHR system to improve clinical workflows and patient care. They use design thinking principles to identify pain points, brainstorm solutions, and develop prototyped solutions. It's a hands-on, collaborative experience that prepares them for real-world challenges. HOST: That sounds like an incredible learning experience. And I know our listeners are probably curious about the types of projects students can expect to work on. Can you tell us a bit about the portfolio of EHR design projects that students develop? GUEST: Throughout the program, students work on a series of design projects that showcase their skills and knowledge. These projects can be anything from redesigning an EHR system for a specific clinical specialty to developing a mobile app for patient engagement. By the end of the program, students have a comprehensive portfolio that demonstrates their expertise in EHR system design. HOST: That's fantastic. And finally, what advice would you give to our listeners who are considering this course? GUEST: I would say that if you're passionate about improving healthcare through technology, this course is an incredible opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge you need to make a real impact.
