About the Course

Now that you've been introduced to the world of Health IT and the important role played by electronic health records (EHRs), we'll focus on other technologies that play a role in maintaining ongoing operations in healthcare. Telemedicine, patient portals, barcode scanners, printers, and medical devices are just some of the technologies that impact providers and patients. As an IT support specialist, you’ll be asked to troubleshoot issues with a wide variety of tools. You'll see a scenario with a medical device installation where issues related to IP addresses, networking, and MAC addresses come up. When there are disruptions in technology, you’ll need to use training, tip sheets, and problem-solving skills to determine how best to handle the situation. Supporting a high reliability organization means being familiar with the existing processes and protocols for handling calls, creating tickets, escalating issues, and resolving matters. We’ll introduce you to the concept of self-service tickets and the guidance given to hospital staff on how to submit a ticket. You’ll learn about the different priority levels for tickets as well as the tiers of IT support. When a call comes in, there are some important resources you’ll need to access in order to troubleshoot the problem. These can range from standard question templates to tip sheets to complex matrices and knowledge base articles (KBAs). Having these tools in your arsenal is essential as a Health IT support specialist. We‘ll also cover the JIRA process, the need for excellent documentation, and ways in which requests for change are communicated....

I really enjoyed getting into the "meat and potatoes" of Healthcare IT. I also enjoyed the supplemental articles that were included. The case studies that some of the articles contained really helped to clarify the coursework. I also found that the supplemental article on HRO to be very informative. The studies that were performed on safety procedures were eye opening (especially the results from the ICU lines)! I am humbled to be making a small contribution into a patient's ease of mind that they will be "safe" when in the hands of medical personnel.

This course was quite informative and easy to understand. I especially appreciated the sections related directly to patient safety and how healthcare IT has a prominent role in the success or failure of patient care. The course presented useful diagrams and the course readings were short and precise.

I am presently in Technical Support Job Role then i began to think what qualification would i need to be qualified to work in Healthcare Organization in order to be familiar with terms, conditions and as well as operation of the healthcare industry when it comes to Healthcare IT Support. I am confident that taking this course has helped me, opened my eyes to lots of knowledge and skills in healthcare industry. I am grateful to my self and proud of myself for taking Healthcare IT Support Specialization Profession Course.

Great...It has been a ¨full knowledge package¨ lectured by so highly proffesional Johns Hopkins University Medicine School staff that covered what should be learned by IT Helathcare personnel to open and go to this new pathway of science. I have learned too much and expect to follow up with the next topic to become an IT Healthcare Specialist. Many thanks for giving me this opportunity to go on....

Very disappointed with the way Johns Hopkins handles their course material. You go through all the videos and readings and if you're taking notes, you can't see feedback on the final quiz. I clearly missed some questions, but I can't see those errors in order to improve my learning. If you're a note taker, be prepared to be disappointed in your outcomes.
