About the Course

HI-FIVE (Health Informatics For Innovation, Value & Enrichment) Training is a 12-hour online course designed by Columbia University in 2016, with sponsorship from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The training is role-based and uses case scenarios. Also, it has additional, optional modules on other topics of interest or relevance. Although we suggest to complete the course within a month's timeframe, the course is self-paced and so you can start and finish the course at anytime during a month's time period. No additional hardware or software are required for this course. Our nation’s healthcare system is changing at a rapid pace. Transformative health care delivery programs depend heavily on health information technology to improve and coordinate care, maintain patient registries, support patient engagement, develop and sustain data infrastructure necessary for multi-payer value-based payment, and enable analytical capacities to inform decision making and streamline reporting. The accelerated pace of change from new and expanding technology will continue to be a challenge for preparing a skilled workforce so taking this training will help you to stay current in the dynamic landscape of health care. This course is one of three related courses in the HI-FIVE training program, which has topics on population health, care coordination and interoperability, value-based care, healthcare data analytics, and patient-centered care. Each of the three courses is designed from a different perspective based on various healthcare roles. This first course is from a clinical perspective, geared towards physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, clinical executives and managers, medical assistants, and other clinical support roles. However, we encourage anyone working in healthcare, health IT, public health, and population health to participate in any of the three trainings....

Content-wise, this course covers all expected bases on understanding health informatics as an active component of healthcare delivery. In multiple instances, I was happily surprised by the direction the discussion went as I learned not only the topic in the title but the health system improvement initiatives in the United States. The integration of the story of Mr. Santana also gives a relatable face to the struggles an average patient (and their family) encounters as they interact with the system. However, presentation-wise, I feel that there is much room for improvement. Most, if not all, of the time, the experience is basically the speaker reading the usually-wordy/-loaded slides and adding further detailed information (that may be hard to understand especially if one is not well-versed in the US health system). Furthermore, throughout the entire course, the way through which reference/referral to other content in another module/week/section is made does not immediately make sense (“Component X, Unit Y”). At least one of the single-question graded quizzes have answers with the explanation not matching them. I hope that updates to this important course, in terms of content and in presentation (from loaded slides-based to more MOOC-like), be made soon, as the COVID-19 pandemic practically gave the case for health informatics being an essential part of healthcare.

Provided good overview and refresher on HIT in clinical context. Though I'm not a clinician, I found it valuable to understand the constraints and limitations to better understand essential role of coordinated infrastructure to improve workflow, care coordination, care transitions, and value-based person-centred care.

I enjoyed taking this course and learned a lot about expanding information across disciplines to benefit the patients and families we serve in a way that creates more collaboration within a health system and potential for cohesiveness amongst multiple health systems taking care of the same pa

Very comprehensive and informative course, very helpful for those who don't have healthcare background. However, it is very specific to US healthcare system.

Lots of useful information! Voice is a bit monotoned and just reads off the slides - perhaps faculty interaction in the form of videos would have been nice.
