Transform raw clinical data into actionable insights that improve patient care with this comprehensive healthcare data analytics program. Through 14 hands-on courses, you'll develop essential skills in clinical data extraction from EMR systems like Epic Clarity, SQL database querying, data transformation and cleansing, statistical analysis, and visualization—all within authentic healthcare scenarios. You'll also gain critical competencies in data governance, HIPAA compliance, and security practices that protect patient privacy while enabling evidence-based decision-making. By program completion, you'll be equipped to systematically analyze healthcare performance metrics, detect quality issues before they impact patient safety, and communicate data-driven recommendations that drive meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this Specialization, learners complete hands-on projects using authentic healthcare datasets and industry-standard tools. Projects include extracting and mapping clinical data from Epic Clarity systems, writing SQL queries to retrieve patient information securely, cleansing and validating healthcare records in Excel, performing statistical analyses on infection rate trends, building accessible dashboards for quality monitoring, and implementing role-based access controls for PHI protection. Each project mirrors real-world healthcare analytics workflows, allowing learners to apply data extraction, transformation, analysis, visualization, and governance skills to solve problems that directly impact patient safety and care quality.
