Undergrad Certificate- Telehealth and Health Informatics
College of Nursing and Health Innovation
Telehealth has become an increasingly important aspect in the delivery of healthcare. With the implementation of the CARES Act, the regulatory barriers that prevented the widespread use of telehealth were lowered, and now those changes are gradually becoming permanent. The full impact of the integration of telemedicine evaluation and diagnostic capability and reach to remote patients and healthcare sites are finally being realized with robust acceptance. The Telehealth and Health Informatics Certificate, part of the eLearning TM program, will prepare health care professionals and para healthcare workers with the core skills needed for telehealth administration.
Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services via electronic and telecommunication technology. Health Informatics is the storage and use of health care information to foster better collaboration among various health-related providers. This nine-semester credit hour certificate will prepare upper division undergraduate students from any related discipline to have fundamental skills needed for telehealth and health informatics.
All courses for the certificate in Telehealth and Health Informatics are offered online. They are not available in the accelerated online format. Students may enroll in the certificate alone or include the certificate as part of an undergraduate degree plan from any related major. There are three required courses in the certificate.
