HIT130 — Health Info Alter Settings
This course will introduce the student to health information in settings other than the acute care facility. Emphasis will be not only on the content of health information used in alternative settings but also on the dissemination, subsequent use, and linkage of the information. The areas covered will include: long-term care, psychiatric facilities, home health, rehabilitation, tumor registry, and other specialty settings. This course will combine classroom lecture and clinical experience with visits to these settings, guest lecturers, and clinical affiliation at a specialty site.
